ee.Geometry.BBox.type
Returns the GeoJSON type of the geometry.
Usage | Returns | BBox.type() | String |
Argument | Type | Details | this: geometry | Geometry | |
Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
// Define a BBox object.
var bBox = ee.Geometry.BBox(-122.09, 37.42, -122.08, 37.43);
// Apply the type method to the BBox object.
var bBoxType = bBox.type();
// Print the result to the console.
print('bBox.type(...) =', bBoxType);
// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(bBox,
{'color': 'black'},
'Geometry [black]: bBox');
