Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Returns the list of geometries in a GeometryCollection, or a singleton list of the geometry for single geometries.
Usage | Returns | Point.geometries() | List |
Argument | Type | Details | this: geometry | Geometry | |
Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
// Define a Point object.
var point = ee.Geometry.Point(-122.082, 37.42);
// Apply the geometries method to the Point object.
var pointGeometries = point.geometries();
// Print the result to the console.
print('point.geometries(...) =', pointGeometries);
// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(point,
{'color': 'black'},
'Geometry [black]: point');
Python setup
See the
Python Environment page for information on the Python API and using
geemap
for interactive development.

# Apply the geometries method to the Point object.
point_geometries = point.geometries()
# Print the result.
display('point.geometries(...) =', point_geometries)
# Display relevant geometries on the map.

For a `GeometryCollection`, it returns a list of the component geometries. In the case of a single geometry like a `Point`, it returns a list containing just that single geometry. The provided examples demonstrate how to use `geometries()` with a `Point` object in both JavaScript and Python, showcasing the retrieval and printing of the resultant list.\n"],null,[]]
