# buffer

var [buffer](https://docs.maptiler.com/mobile-sdk/android/api/-map-tiler-s-d-k/com.maptiler.maptilersdk.map.style.source/-m-t-geo-j-s-o-n-source/buffer/): [Int](https://kotlinlang.org/api/core/kotlin-stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html)?

Size of the tile buffer on each side.

Optional number between 0 and 512 inclusive. A value of 0 produces no buffer. A value of 512 produces a buffer as wide as the tile itself. Larger values produce fewer rendering artifacts near tile edges and slower performance. Defaults to 128.
