bounding-box polygon for osmosis

0

Hi,

I would like to ask if somebody knows some way, software or an algorithm which can expands existing downloaded polygon in *.poly file.

I mean I would like to move each node of the polygon more outside to create bigger polygon area.

Thank in advance

I'm not sure they directly support .poly files, though. You will probably need to transform .poly to something these tools can work with.
