ee.Geometry.BBox.toGeoJSONString

  • toGeoJSONString() converts a Geometry object, specifically a BBox, into a GeoJSON string representation.

  • This function takes no arguments other than the Geometry instance itself.

  • The returned GeoJSON string can be used for interoperability with other systems or for visualization purposes.

  • Code examples are provided in JavaScript, Python using geemap, and Google Colab for utilizing this functionality.

Returns a GeoJSON string representation of the geometry.

UsageReturns
BBox.toGeoJSONString()String
ArgumentTypeDetails
this: geometryGeometryThe Geometry instance.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Define a BBox object.
var bBox = ee.Geometry.BBox(-122.09, 37.42, -122.08, 37.43);

// Apply the toGeoJSONString method to the BBox object.
var bBoxToGeoJSONString = bBox.toGeoJSONString();

// Print the result to the console.
print('bBox.toGeoJSONString(...) =', bBoxToGeoJSONString);

// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(bBox,
             {'color': 'black'},
             'Geometry [black]: bBox');

Python setup

See the Python Environment page for information on the Python API and using geemap for interactive development.

import ee
import geemap.core as geemap

Colab (Python)

# Define a BBox object.
bbox = ee.Geometry.BBox(-122.09, 37.42, -122.08, 37.43)

# Apply the toGeoJSONString method to the BBox object.
bbox_to_geojson_string = bbox.toGeoJSONString()

# Print the result.
display('bbox.toGeoJSONString(...) =', bbox_to_geojson_string)

# Display relevant geometries on the map.
m = geemap.Map()
m.set_center(-122.085, 37.422, 15)
m.add_layer(bbox, {'color': 'black'}, 'Geometry [black]: bbox')
