  • The type() method returns the GeoJSON type of a geometry as a string.

  • The type() method is applied to a geometry object.

  • Examples are provided in both JavaScript and Python.

 Returns the GeoJSON type of the 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');
