AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
When
geodesic()is false, edges are straight in the projection, and when true, edges are curved to follow the shortest path on the Earth's surface. -
The
BBox.geodesic()method returns a Boolean value. -
The
geodesic()method can be applied to a BBox object. -
Example usage in JavaScript and Python demonstrates defining a BBox, applying
geodesic(), and printing the result.
