The visualization parameters. For Images and ImageCollection, see ee.data.getMapId for valid parameters. For Features and FeatureCollections, the only supported key is "color", as a 6-character hex string in the RRGGBB format.
name
String, optional
The name of the layer. Defaults to "Layer N".
shown
Boolean, optional
A flag indicating whether the layer should be on by default.
opacity
Number, optional
The layer's opacity represented as a number between 0 and 1. Defaults to 1.
