ee.Geometry.Rectangle.toGeoJSONString

  • toGeoJSONString() returns a GeoJSON string representation of a given Earth Engine geometry.

  • This function can be applied to any Geometry object, such as a Rectangle, to obtain its GeoJSON format.

  • Usage examples are provided in JavaScript, Python, and Colab environments to demonstrate the function's application and output.

  • The output string can be used for various purposes like visualizing or exporting the geometry data in a standard format.

Returns a GeoJSON string representation of the geometry.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

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

// Apply the toGeoJSONString method to the Rectangle object.
var rectangleToGeoJSONString = rectangle.toGeoJSONString();

// Print the result to the console.
print('rectangle.toGeoJSONString(...) =', rectangleToGeoJSONString);

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

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 Rectangle object.
rectangle = ee.Geometry.Rectangle(-122.09, 37.42, -122.08, 37.43)

# Apply the toGeoJSONString method to the Rectangle object.
rectangle_to_geojson_string = rectangle.toGeoJSONString()

# Print the result.
display('rectangle.toGeoJSONString(...) =', rectangle_to_geojson_string)

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