Returns the serialized representation of this object.
Usage | Returns |
---|
MultiPolygon.serialize(legacy) | String |
Argument | Type | Details |
---|
this: geometry | Geometry | The Geometry instance. |
legacy | Boolean, optional | Enables legacy format. |
Examples
// Define a MultiPolygon object.
var multiPolygon = ee.Geometry.MultiPolygon(
[[[[-122.092, 37.424],
[-122.086, 37.418],
[-122.079, 37.425],
[-122.085, 37.423]]],
[[[-122.081, 37.417],
[-122.086, 37.421],
[-122.089, 37.416]]]]);
// Apply the serialize method to the MultiPolygon object.
var multiPolygonSerialize = multiPolygon.serialize();
// Print the result to the console.
print('multiPolygon.serialize(...) =', multiPolygonSerialize);
// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(multiPolygon,
{'color': 'black'},
'Geometry [black]: multiPolygon');

Python Environment page for information on the Python API and using
geemap
for interactive development.
