ee.Geometry.MultiPoint.toGeoJSON

  • toGeoJSON() converts an Earth Engine Geometry object, specifically a MultiPoint in this case, into a GeoJSON representation.

  • The method takes a Geometry instance as input and returns a GeoJSONGeometry object.

  • This functionality is demonstrated with examples in both JavaScript and Python, showcasing how to use toGeoJSON() with MultiPoint geometries.

  • The examples also visualize the geometries on a map using the Earth Engine API and geemap library.

Returns a GeoJSON representation of the geometry.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

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

// Apply the toGeoJSON method to the MultiPoint object.
var multiPointToGeoJSON = multiPoint.toGeoJSON();

// Print the result to the console.
print('multiPoint.toGeoJSON(...) =', multiPointToGeoJSON);

// 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.

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

# Apply the toGeoJSON method to the MultiPoint object.
multipoint_to_geojson = multipoint.toGeoJSON()

# Print the result.
display('multipoint.toGeoJSON(...) =', multipoint_to_geojson)

# Display relevant geometries on the map.
