ee.Geometry.Point.type

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

  • It can be applied to any geometry object and is demonstrated with a Point object example.

 Returns the GeoJSON type of the geometry.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// 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');
