ee.Geometry.LinearRing.centroid
Returns a point at the center of the highest-dimension components of the geometry. Lower-dimensional components are ignored, so the centroid of a geometry containing two polygons, three lines and a point is equivalent to the centroid of a geometry containing just the two polygons.
Usage | Returns |
---|
LinearRing.centroid(maxError, proj) | Geometry |
Argument | Type | Details |
---|
this: geometry | Geometry | Calculates the centroid of this geometry. |
maxError | ErrorMargin, default: null | The maximum amount of error tolerated when performing any necessary reprojection. |
proj | Projection, default: null | If specified, the result will be in this projection. Otherwise it will be in EPSG:4326. |
Examples
// Define a LinearRing object.
var linearRing = ee.Geometry.LinearRing(
[[-122.091, 37.420],
[-122.085, 37.422],
[-122.080, 37.430]]);
// Apply the centroid method to the LinearRing object.
var linearRingCentroid = linearRing.centroid({'maxError': 1});
// Print the result to the console.
print('linearRing.centroid(...) =', linearRingCentroid);
// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(linearRing,
{'color': 'black'},
'Geometry [black]: linearRing');
Map.addLayer(linearRingCentroid,
{'color': 'red'},
'Result [red]: linearRing.centroid');
