Revise prepareTargetData function and update query functions #18

Closed bmcgaughey1 closed 1 year ago

bmcgaughey1 commented 1 year ago

Changes to the logic in prepareTargetData so that buffers are applied to features after projecting to UTM. This produces more accurate features for cases where the original projection of features does not preserve distances or areas. For example, point data in the web Mercator projection spanning a range of latitudes produces buffered shapes that are not equal in area. The original prepareTargetData function is still available as prepareTargetDataLegacy and can be used with any of the query functions.
