Returns a GeoJSON string representation of the geometry.
| Usage | Returns | Rectangle.toGeoJSONString() | String |
| Argument | Type | Details | this: geometry | Geometry | The Geometry instance. |
Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
// Define a Rectangle object.
var rectangle = ee.Geometry.Rectangle(-122.09, 37.42, -122.08, 37.43);
// Apply the toGeoJSONString method to the Rectangle object.
var rectangleToGeoJSONString = rectangle.toGeoJSONString();
// Print the result to the console.
print('rectangle.toGeoJSONString(...) =', rectangleToGeoJSONString);
// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(rectangle,
{'color': 'black'},
'Geometry [black]: rectangle');
