AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
Rectangle.geodesic() is a method that returns a Boolean value.
-
The geodesic method determines if edges are straight or curved in a projection.
-
If true, edges are curved to follow the shortest path on the Earth's surface.
-
If false, edges are straight in the projection.
