AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
The
dissolvemethod returns the union of a geometry, leaving single geometries untouched and uniting multi-geometries. -
The method accepts optional
maxErrorandprojarguments to control reprojection tolerance and the projection for the union operation. -
The return value of
dissolveis a Geometry object.
| Usage | Returns |

| 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. |
