Returns the union of the geometry. This leaves single geometries untouched, and unions multi geometries.
Usage | Returns | Geometry.dissolve(maxError, proj) | Geometry |
Argument | Type | Details | this: geometry | Geometry | The geometry to union. |
maxError | ErrorMargin, default: null | The maximum amount of error tolerated when performing any necessary reprojection. |
proj | Projection, default: null | If specified, the union will be performed in this projection. Otherwise it will be performed in a spherical coordinate system. |
Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
// Define a Geometry object.
var geometry = ee.Geometry({
'type': 'Polygon',
'coordinates':
[[[-122.081, 37.417],
[-122.086, 37.421],
[-122.084, 37.418],
[-122.089, 37.416]]]
});
// Apply the dissolve method to the Geometry object.
var geometryDissolve = geometry.dissolve({'maxError': 1});
// Print the result to the console.
print('geometry.dissolve(...) =', geometryDissolve);
// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(geometry,
{'color': 'black'},
'Geometry [black]: geometry');
Map.addLayer(geometryDissolve,
{'color': 'red'},
'Result [red]: geometry.dissolve');
