Suppose I have a dataset where each record has an x,y and r (the centroid and radius of a circle). How can I create a polygon feature class containing parametric circles?
Sorry to those who have a great open source solution, but I'm stuck using python in ArcGIS 10.
Answer
You could create a buffer around the point using the buffer command. For example in 10.0 using arcpy.Buffer_analysis() (see ArcGIS help), and use the radius as the buffer distance.
