ee.Geometry.MultiPoint.serialize

AI-generated Key Takeaways

The serialize method returns the serialized representation of a Geometry object.
The method accepts an optional boolean argument legacy to enable legacy format.
The usage of the serialize method is demonstrated with JavaScript and Python examples.

Returns the serialized representation of this object.

Usage	Returns
`MultiPoint. serialize ( legacy )`	String

Argument	Type	Details
this: `geometry`	Geometry	The Geometry instance.
`legacy`	Boolean, optional	Enables legacy format.
