ee.Geometry.LinearRing.dissolve
Returns the union of the geometry. This leaves single geometries untouched, and unions multi geometries.
Usage | Returns |
---|
LinearRing.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
// Define a LinearRing object.
var linearRing = ee.Geometry.LinearRing(
[[-122.091, 37.420],
[-122.085, 37.422],
[-122.080, 37.430]]);
// Apply the dissolve method to the LinearRing object.
var linearRingDissolve = linearRing.dissolve({'maxError': 1});
// Print the result to the console.
print('linearRing.dissolve(...) =', linearRingDissolve);
// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(linearRing,
{'color': 'black'},
'Geometry [black]: linearRing');
Map.addLayer(linearRingDissolve,
{'color': 'red'},
'Result [red]: linearRing.dissolve');

It takes an optional `maxError` argument, controlling reprojection error tolerance, and a `proj` argument to specify the output projection, defaulting to spherical. The method is applied to a geometry object (`LinearRing` in the examples). It is shown in both javascript and python examples, with visual output of before and after on a map.\n"]]
