Returns true if the geometry edges, if any, are geodesics along a spherical model of the earth; if false, any edges are straight lines in the projection.
Usage | Returns | LineString.edgesAreGeodesics() | Boolean |
Argument | Type | Details | this: geometry | Geometry | |
Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
// Define a LineString object.
var lineString = ee.Geometry.LineString([[-122.09, 37.42], [-122.08, 37.43]]);
// Apply the edgesAreGeodesics method to the LineString object.
var lineStringEdgesAreGeodesics = lineString.edgesAreGeodesics();
// Print the result to the console.
print('lineString.edgesAreGeodesics(...) =', lineStringEdgesAreGeodesics);
// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(lineString,
{'color': 'black'},
'Geometry [black]: lineString');
