ee.Geometry.Rectangle.toGeoJSON

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

  • This method is used on a Geometry instance and returns a GeoJSONGeometry object.

  • The provided examples demonstrate applyingtoGeoJSON() to aRectangle object in both JavaScript and Python.

Returns a GeoJSON representation of the geometry.

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

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

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