Returns the length of the perimeter of the polygonal parts of the geometry. The perimeter of multi geometries is the sum of the perimeters of their components.
Usage | Returns | Polygon.perimeter(maxError, proj) | Float |
Argument | Type | Details | this: geometry | Geometry | The input geometry. |
maxError | ErrorMargin, default: null | The maximum amount of error tolerated when performing any necessary reprojection. |
proj | Projection, default: null | If specified, the result will be in the units of the coordinate system of this projection. Otherwise it will be in meters. |
Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
// Define a Polygon object.
var polygon = ee.Geometry.Polygon(
[[[-122.092, 37.424],
[-122.086, 37.418],
[-122.079, 37.425],
[-122.085, 37.423]]]);
// Apply the perimeter method to the Polygon object.
var polygonPerimeter = polygon.perimeter({'maxError': 1});
// Print the result to the console.
print('polygon.perimeter(...) =', polygonPerimeter);
// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(polygon,
{'color': 'black'},
'Geometry [black]: polygon');
