ee.Geometry.MultiPoint.serialize

  • The serialize method returns the serialized representation of a Geometry object.

  • The method accepts an optional boolean argument legacy to enable legacy format.

  • The usage of the serialize method is demonstrated with JavaScript and Python examples.

Returns the serialized representation of this object.

UsageReturns
MultiPoint.serialize(legacy)String
ArgumentTypeDetails
this: geometryGeometryThe Geometry instance.
legacyBoolean, optionalEnables legacy format.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Define a MultiPoint object.
var multiPoint = ee.Geometry.MultiPoint([[-122.082, 37.420], [-122.081, 37.426]]);

// Apply the serialize method to the MultiPoint object.
var multiPointSerialize = multiPoint.serialize();

// Print the result to the console.
print('multiPoint.serialize(...) =', multiPointSerialize);

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

Python setup

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

Colab (Python)

# Define a MultiPoint object.
multipoint = ee.Geometry.MultiPoint([[-122.082, 37.420], [-122.081, 37.426]])

# Apply the serialize method to the MultiPoint object.
multipoint_serialize = multipoint.serialize()

# Print the result.
display('multipoint.serialize(...) =', multipoint_serialize)

# Display relevant geometries on the map.
