ee.Geometry.Rectangle.toGeoJSON

  • The toGeoJSON() method returns a GeoJSON representation of a geometry.

  • This method is used on a Geometry instance and returns a GeoJSONGeometry object.

  • The provided examples demonstrate applying toGeoJSON() to a Rectangle object in both JavaScript and Python.

Returns a GeoJSON representation of the geometry.

UsageReturns
Rectangle.toGeoJSON()GeoJSONGeometry
ArgumentTypeDetails
this: geometryGeometryThe Geometry instance.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Define a Rectangle object.
var rectangle = ee.Geometry.Rectangle(-122.09, 37.42, -122.08, 37.43);

// Apply the toGeoJSON method to the Rectangle object.
var rectangleToGeoJSON = rectangle.toGeoJSON();

// Print the result to the console.
print('rectangle.toGeoJSON(...) =', rectangleToGeoJSON);

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