Returns a GeoJSON string representation of the geometry.
| Usage | Returns | LineString.toGeoJSONString() | String |
| Argument | Type | Details | this: geometry | Geometry | The 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 toGeoJSONString method to the LineString object.
var lineStringToGeoJSONString = lineString.toGeoJSONString();
// Print the result to the console.
print('lineString.toGeoJSONString(...) =', lineStringToGeoJSONString);
// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(lineString,
{'color': 'black'},
'Geometry [black]: lineString');
