ee.Geometry.LineString.serialize

  • The serialize method returns the serialized representation of a LineString object as a String.

  • The method takes an optional boolean argument legacy to enable legacy format.

  • Examples are provided for using serialize in both JavaScript and Python.

Returns the serialized representation of this object.

UsageReturns
LineString.serialize(legacy)String
ArgumentTypeDetails
this: geometryGeometryThe Geometry instance.
legacyBoolean, optionalEnables legacy format.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Define a LineString object.
var lineString = ee.Geometry.LineString([[-122.09, 37.42], [-122.08, 37.43]]);

// Apply the serialize method to the LineString object.
var lineStringSerialize = lineString.serialize();

// Print the result to the console.
print('lineString.serialize(...) =', lineStringSerialize);

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

Python setup

See the Python Environment page for information on the Python API and using geemap for interactive development.
