ee.Geometry.LineString.toGeoJSON

  • The toGeoJSON() method returns a GeoJSON representation of a geometry.

  • This method is available on LineString objects.

  • The method takes a Geometry instance as input and returns a GeoJSONGeometry.

  • Examples in JavaScript and Python demonstrate how to use toGeoJSON() 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.
var lineString = ee.Geometry.LineString([[-122.09, 37.42], [-122.08, 37.43]]);

// Apply the toGeoJSON method to the LineString object.
var lineStringToGeoJSON = 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');

Python setup
