Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
// Define a BBox object.
var bBox = ee.Geometry.BBox(-122.09, 37.42, -122.08, 37.43);
// Apply the toGeoJSON method to the BBox object.
var bBoxToGeoJSON = bBox.toGeoJSON();
// Print the result to the console.
print('bBox.toGeoJSON(...) =', bBoxToGeoJSON);
// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(bBox,
{'color': 'black'},
'Geometry [black]: bBox');
