ee.Geometry.BBox.cutLines

    • The cutLines method converts LineString, MultiLineString, and LinearRing geometries into a MultiLineString by cutting them into parts based on specified distances along their length.

    • Other geometry types are converted to an empty MultiLineString.

    • The method takes distances as a list of cut points, an optional maxError for reprojection, and an optional proj to define the units for distances and the result projection.

     Converts LineString, MultiLineString, and LinearRing geometries into a MultiLineString by cutting them into parts no longer than the given distance along their length. All other geometry types will be converted to an empty MultiLineString.
    Usage Returns
    BBox. cutLines (distances, maxError , proj ) Geometry
    Argument Type Details
    this: geometry
    		Geometry Cuts the lines of this geometry.
    distances
    		List Distances along each LineString to cut the line into separate pieces, measured in units of the given proj, or meters if proj is unspecified.
    maxError
    		ErrorMargin, default: null The maximum amount of error tolerated when performing any necessary reprojection.
    proj
    		Projection, default: null Projection of the result and distance measurements, or EPSG:4326 if unspecified.

    Examples

    Code Editor (JavaScript) 

     // Notice: the cutLines geometry method applies only to LineString, 
 // MultiLineString, and LinearRing geometries. All other geometry types result 
 // in an empty MultiLineString.
