Parameters

fromLayer

FeatureLayer from which to copy fields.

filter

New Filter of the constructed FeatureLayer.

buffer

New Buffer of the constructed FeatureLayer.

This method creates a new FeatureLayer with a buffer around selected features. The buffer can be either a DisplayBuffer or a SelectionBuffer. A DisplayBuffer is used to show a buffer surrounding selected features on a map image. A SelectionBuffer is used to retrieve information about features in the same layer or another layer that are within the buffer. It is not used to display the buffer.

When using a DisplayBuffer for the buffer, this method produces the same result as CreateBufferLayer. When using a SelectionBuffer, the result is the same as with CreateBufferSelectionLayer Method. See those methods for additional information and examples.

If the layer will be added to the map's layer collection, then a unique ID must be set before the map is drawn.
