ee.Geometry.MultiPoint.type

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

  • The method can be applied to a MultiPoint object and returns "MultiPoint".

 Returns the GeoJSON type of the geometry.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Define a MultiPoint object.
var multiPoint = ee.Geometry.MultiPoint([[-122.082, 37.420], [-122.081, 37.426]]);

// Apply the type method to the MultiPoint object.
var multiPointType = multiPoint.type();

// Print the result to the console.
print('multiPoint.type(...) =', multiPointType);

// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(multiPoint,
             {'color': 'black'},
             'Geometry [black]: multiPoint');
