Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)Colab (Python)

// Define a Point object.
var point = ee.Geometry.Point(-122.082, 37.42);

// Apply the type method to the Point object.
var pointType = point.type();

// Print the result to the console.
print('point.type(...) =', pointType);

// 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.

import ee
import geemap.core as geemap

# Define a Point object.
point = ee.Geometry.Point(-122.082, 37.42)

# Apply the type method to the Point object.
point_type = point.type()

# Print the result.
display('point.type(...) =', point_type)

# Display relevant geometries on the map.
m = geemap.Map()
m.set_center(-122.085, 37.422, 15)
m.add_layer(point, {'color': 'black'}, 'Geometry [black]: point')
