ee.Geometry.LineString.serialize

Returns the serialized representation of this object.

Usage	Returns
LineString.serialize(legacy)	String

Argument	Type	Details
this: geometry	Geometry	The Geometry instance.
legacy	Boolean, optional	Enables legacy format.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)Colab (Python)

// 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.

import ee
import geemap.core as geemap

# Define a LineString object.
linestring = ee.Geometry.LineString([[-122.09, 37.42], [-122.08, 37.43]])

# Apply the serialize method to the LineString object.
linestring_serialize = linestring.serialize()

# Print the result.
display('linestring.serialize(...) =', linestring_serialize)

# Display relevant geometries on the map.
m = geemap.Map()
m.set_center(-122.085, 37.422, 15)
m.add_layer(linestring, {'color': 'black'}, 'Geometry [black]: linestring')
