Returns the union of the geometry. This leaves single geometries untouched, and unions multi geometries.
Usage | Returns | MultiPoint.dissolve(maxError, proj) | Geometry |
Argument | Type | Details | this: geometry | Geometry | The geometry to union. |
maxError | ErrorMargin, default: null | The maximum amount of error tolerated when performing any necessary reprojection. |
proj | Projection, default: null | If specified, the union will be performed in this projection. Otherwise it will be performed in a spherical coordinate system. |
Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
// Define a MultiPoint object.
var multiPoint = ee.Geometry.MultiPoint([[-122.082, 37.420], [-122.081, 37.426]]);
// Apply the dissolve method to the MultiPoint object.
var multiPointDissolve = multiPoint.dissolve({'maxError': 1});
// Print the result to the console.
print('multiPoint.dissolve(...) =', multiPointDissolve);
// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(multiPoint,
{'color': 'black'},
'Geometry [black]: multiPoint');
Map.addLayer(multiPointDissolve,
{'color': 'red'},
'Result [red]: multiPoint.dissolve');
