AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
The
edgesAreGeodesics()method checks if the edges of a geometry are geodesics along a spherical model of the Earth. -
If the edges are not geodesics, they are considered straight lines in the projection.
-
This method is used with a
LinearRinggeometry and returns a Boolean value.
