AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
When
geodesic()is false, edges are straight in the projection, and when true, edges are curved to follow the shortest path on the Earth's surface. -
The
BBox.geodesic()method returns a Boolean value. -
The
geodesic()method can be applied to a BBox object. -
Example usage in JavaScript and Python demonstrates defining a BBox, applying
geodesic(), and printing the result.
| Usage | Returns |
|---|---|
BBox.geodesic() | Boolean |
| Argument | Type | Details |
|---|---|---|
this: geometry | Geometry |

Code Editor (JavaScript)
// Define a BBox object. var bBox = ee.Geometry.BBox(-122.09, 37.42, -122.08, 37.43); // Apply the geodesic method to the BBox object. var bBoxGeodesic = bBox.geodesic(); // Print the result to the console. print('bBox.geodesic(...) =', bBoxGeodesic); // Display relevant geometries on the map. Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15); Map.addLayer(bBox, {'color': 'black'}, 'Geometry [black]: bBox');
