ee.Geometry.Polygon.dissolve
Returns the union of the geometry. This leaves single geometries untouched, and unions multi geometries.
Usage | Returns |
---|
Polygon.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
// Define a Polygon object.
var polygon = ee.Geometry.Polygon(
[[[-122.092, 37.424],
[-122.086, 37.418],
[-122.079, 37.425],
[-122.085, 37.423]]]);
// Apply the dissolve method to the Polygon object.
var polygonDissolve = polygon.dissolve({'maxError': 1});
// Print the result to the console.
print('polygon.dissolve(...) =', polygonDissolve);
// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(polygon,
{'color': 'black'},
'Geometry [black]: polygon');
Map.addLayer(polygonDissolve,
{'color': 'red'},
'Result [red]: polygon.dissolve');

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