ee.Geometry.LinearRing.serialize

  • The serialize method returns the serialized representation of a Geometry object.

  • The method can optionally take a boolean argument legacy to enable a legacy format.

  • Example code is provided in both JavaScript and Python for demonstrating the usage of the serialize method on a LinearRing object.

Returns the serialized representation of this object.

UsageReturns
LinearRing.serialize(legacy)String
ArgumentTypeDetails
this: geometryGeometryThe Geometry instance.
legacyBoolean, optionalEnables legacy format.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Define a LinearRing object.
var linearRing = ee.Geometry.LinearRing(
    [[-122.091, 37.420],
     [-122.085, 37.422],
     [-122.080, 37.430]]);

// Apply the serialize method to the LinearRing object.
var linearRingSerialize = linearRing.serialize();

// Print the result to the console.
print('linearRing.serialize(...) =', linearRingSerialize);

// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(linearRing,
             {'color': 'black'},
             'Geometry [black]: linearRing');
