ee.Geometry.LinearRing.cutLines

Converts LineString, MultiLineString, and LinearRing geometries into a MultiLineString by cutting them into parts no longer than the given distance along their length. All other geometry types will be converted to an empty MultiLineString.

Usage	Returns
LinearRing.cutLines(distances, maxError, proj)	Geometry

Argument	Type	Details
this: geometry	Geometry	Cuts the lines of this geometry.
distances	List	Distances along each LineString to cut the line into separate pieces, measured in units of the given proj, or meters if proj is unspecified.
maxError	ErrorMargin, default: null	The maximum amount of error tolerated when performing any necessary reprojection.
proj	Projection, default: null	Projection of the result and distance measurements, or WGS84 if unspecified.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Define a LinearRing object.
var linearRing = ee.Geometry.LinearRing(
    [[-122.091, 37.420],
     [-122.085, 37.422],
     [-122.080, 37.430]]);

// Apply the cutLines method to the LinearRing object.
var linearRingCutLines = linearRing.cutLines({'distances': [10, 100], 'maxError': 1});

// Print the result to the console.
print('linearRing.cutLines(...) =', linearRingCutLines);

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