AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
The
serialize()
method returns a serialized (string) representation of a given Geometry object. -
This method can be used with an optional
legacy
argument (Boolean) to enable legacy formatting. -
Code examples demonstrate the usage of
serialize()
in both JavaScript and Python environments within Google Earth Engine.
Usage | Returns |
---|---|
Geometry.serialize(legacy) | String |
Argument | Type | Details |
---|---|---|
this: geometry | Geometry | The Geometry instance. |
legacy | Boolean, optional | Enables legacy format. |
Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
// Define a Geometry object. var geometry = ee.Geometry({ 'type': 'Polygon', 'coordinates': [[[-122.081, 37.417], [-122.086, 37.421], [-122.084, 37.418], [-122.089, 37.416]]] }); // Apply the serialize method to the Geometry object. var geometrySerialize = geometry.serialize(); // Print the result to the console. print('geometry.serialize(...) =', geometrySerialize); // Display relevant geometries on the map. Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15); Map.addLayer(geometry, {'color': 'black'}, 'Geometry [black]: geometry');
