ee.Kernel.octagon

Generates an octagon-shaped boolean kernel.

Usage	Returns
`ee.Kernel.octagon(radius, units, normalize, magnitude)`	Kernel

Argument	Type	Details
`radius`	Float	The radius of the kernel to generate.
`units`	String, default: "pixels"	The system of measurement for the kernel ('pixels' or 'meters'). If the kernel is specified in meters, it will resize when the zoom-level is changed.
`normalize`	Boolean, default: true	Normalize the kernel values to sum to 1.
`magnitude`	Float, default: 1	Scale each value by this amount.

Examples
