ee.Geometry.LineString.toGeoJSON

  • ThetoGeoJSON() method returns a GeoJSON representation of a geometry.

  • This method is available onLineString objects.

  • The method takes aGeometry instance as input and returns aGeoJSONGeometry.

  • Examples in JavaScript and Python demonstrate how to usetoGeoJSON() and display the resulting geometry.

Returns a GeoJSON representation of the geometry.

UsageReturns
LineString.toGeoJSON()GeoJSONGeometry
ArgumentTypeDetails
this:geometryGeometryThe Geometry instance.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Define a LineString object.varlineString=ee.Geometry.LineString([[-122.09,37.42],[-122.08,37.43]]);// Apply the toGeoJSON method to the LineString object.varlineStringToGeoJSON=lineString.toGeoJSON();// Print the result to the console.print('lineString.toGeoJSON(...) =',lineStringToGeoJSON);// Display relevant geometries on the map.Map.setCenter(-122.085,37.422,15);Map.addLayer(lineString,{'color':'black'},'Geometry [black]: lineString');
