Returns the union of the geometry. This leaves single geometries untouched, and unions multi geometries.
Usage | Returns | Point.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
Code Editor (JavaScript)
// Define a Point object.
var point = ee.Geometry.Point(-122.082, 37.42);
// Apply the dissolve method to the Point object.
var pointDissolve = point.dissolve({'maxError': 1});
// Print the result to the console.
print('point.dissolve(...) =', pointDissolve);
// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(point,
{'color': 'black'},
'Geometry [black]: point');
Map.addLayer(pointDissolve,
{'color': 'red'},
'Result [red]: point.dissolve');
