ee.Geometry.LineString.perimeter
Returns the length of the perimeter of the polygonal parts of the geometry. The perimeter of multi geometries is the sum of the perimeters of their components.
Usage | Returns |
---|
LineString.perimeter(maxError, proj) | Float |
Argument | Type | Details |
---|
this: geometry | Geometry | The input 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 the units of the coordinate system of this projection. Otherwise it will be in meters. |
Examples
// Define a LineString object.
var lineString = ee.Geometry.LineString([[-122.09, 37.42], [-122.08, 37.43]]);
// Apply the perimeter method to the LineString object.
var lineStringPerimeter = lineString.perimeter({'maxError': 1});
// Print the result to the console.
print('lineString.perimeter(...) =', lineStringPerimeter);
// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(lineString,
{'color': 'black'},
'Geometry [black]: lineString');
Python setup
See the
Python Environment page for information on the Python API and using
geemap
for interactive development.

import geemap.core as geemap
# Define a LineString object.
linestring = ee.Geometry.LineString([[-122.09, 37.42], [-122.08, 37.43]])
# Apply the perimeter method to the LineString object.
linestring_perimeter = linestring.perimeter(maxError=1)
# Print the result.
display('linestring.perimeter(...) =', linestring_perimeter)
# Display relevant geometries on the map.
m = geemap.Map()
m.set_center(-122.085, 37.422, 15)
m.add_layer(linestring, {'color': 'black'}, 'Geometry [black]: linestring')
