AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
The
MultiLineString.geodesic()method returns a Boolean value. -
Setting geodesic to false results in straight edges in the projection, while setting it to true curves edges to follow the shortest path on the Earth's surface.
-
The method can be used with a MultiLineString geometry object.
