Returns a GeoJSON string representation of the geometry.
Usage | Returns | Geometry.toGeoJSONString() | String |
Argument | Type | Details | this: geometry | Geometry | The Geometry instance. |
Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
// Define a Geometry object.
var geometry = ee.Geometry({
'type': 'Polygon',
'coordinates':
[[[-122.081, 37.417],
[-122.086, 37.421],
[-122.084, 37.418],
[-122.089, 37.416]]]
});
// Apply the toGeoJSONString method to the Geometry object.
var geometryToGeoJSONString = geometry.toGeoJSONString();
// Print the result to the console.
print('geometry.toGeoJSONString(...) =', geometryToGeoJSONString);
// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(geometry,
{'color': 'black'},
'Geometry [black]: geometry');
