Examples
// Define a MultiLineString object.
var multiLineString = ee.Geometry.MultiLineString(
[[[-122.088, 37.418], [-122.086, 37.422], [-122.082, 37.418]],
[[-122.087, 37.416], [-122.083, 37.416], [-122.082, 37.419]]]);
// Apply the type method to the MultiLineString object.
var multiLineStringType = multiLineString.type();
// Print the result to the console.
print('multiLineString.type(...) =', multiLineStringType);
// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(multiLineString,
{'color': 'black'},
'Geometry [black]: multiLineString');
Python setup
See the
Python Environment page for information on the Python API and using
geemap for interactive development.

])
