ee.Geometry.MultiPoint.geodesic

If false, edges are straight in the projection. If true, edges are curved to follow the shortest path on the surface of the Earth.

UsageReturns
MultiPoint.geodesic()Boolean
ArgumentTypeDetails
this: geometryGeometry

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Define a MultiPoint object.
var multiPoint = ee.Geometry.MultiPoint([[-122.082, 37.420], [-122.081, 37.426]]);

// Apply the geodesic method to the MultiPoint object.
var multiPointGeodesic = multiPoint.geodesic();

// Print the result to the console.
print('multiPoint.geodesic(...) =', multiPointGeodesic);

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