To format widgets

  1. Titles cannot contain special characters.
  2. Image parameters use JSON. Quotes used for image parameters in widgets should be vertical (” not “”). There should be no spaces in the image parameters.
  3. Lists can be formatted either as “1,2,3” or as [1,2,3] for numbers and “B3,B2,B1” or [“B3″,”B2″,”B1”] for bands.
  4. When displaying three bands (e.g. B3, B2, B1 in RGB), GEE can use either one or three values for min and max.
  5. For the Date Ranges, if the end date is longer than the period of record, only the available data will be displayed.
