ee.Geometry.Polygon.toGeoJSONString

  • ThetoGeoJSONString() method returns a GeoJSON string representation of a geometry.

  • This method can be applied to aPolygon object to get its GeoJSON string.

  • The examples demonstrate its use in both JavaScript and Python.

Returns a GeoJSON string representation of the geometry.

UsageReturns
Polygon.toGeoJSONString()String
ArgumentTypeDetails
this:geometryGeometryThe Geometry instance.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Define a Polygon object.varpolygon=ee.Geometry.Polygon([[[-122.092,37.424],[-122.086,37.418],[-122.079,37.425],[-122.085,37.423]]]);// Apply the toGeoJSONString method to the Polygon object.varpolygonToGeoJSONString=polygon.toGeoJSONString();// Print the result to the console.print('polygon.toGeoJSONString(...) =',polygonToGeoJSONString);// Display relevant geometries on the map.Map.setCenter(-122.085,37.422,15);Map.addLayer(polygon,{'color':'black'},'Geometry [black]: polygon');
