ee.Geometry.MultiLineString.dissolve
Stay organized with collections

Returns the union of the geometry. This leaves single geometries untouched, and unions multi geometries.
Usage | Returns | MultiLineString.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 MultiLineString object.
var multiLineString = ee.Geometry.MultiLineString(
[[[-122.088, 37.418], [-122.086, 37.422], [-122.082, 37.418]],
[[-122.087, 37.416], [-122.083, 37.416], [-122.082, 37.419]]]);
// Apply the dissolve method to the MultiLineString object.
var multiLineStringDissolve = multiLineString.dissolve({'maxError': 1});
// Print the result to the console.
print('multiLineString.dissolve(...) =', multiLineStringDissolve);
// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(multiLineString,
{'color': 'black'},
'Geometry [black]: multiLineString');
Map.addLayer(multiLineStringDissolve,
{'color': 'red'},
'Result [red]: multiLineString.dissolve');
