+###  whereBuffer
+
+Filters records within a buffer. Uses [ST_Buffer](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/spatial-operator-functions.html#function_st-buffer).

 ###  whereWithin
 
 Filters records by the [ST_Within](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/spatial-relation-functions-object-shapes.html#function_st-within) function.
