Resource: EarthEngineMap
| Fields |
name |
string
The resource name representing the map, of the form "projects/*/maps/**" (e.g. "projects/earthengine-legacy/maps/").
|
expression |
object (Expression)
The expression to compute.
|
fileFormat |
enum (ImageFileFormat)
The output file format in which to generate the map tiles.
|
bandIds[] |
string
If present, specifies a specific set of bands that will be selected from the result of evaluating the given expression. If not present, all bands resulting from the expression will be selected.
|
visualizationOptions |
object (VisualizationOptions)
If present, a set of visualization options to apply to produce an 8-bit RGB visualization of the data.
|
Methods |
|
|
Creates an ID that can be used to render map tiles showing the results of a computation. |
