ee.Geometry.Polygon.type
Returns the GeoJSON type of the geometry.
Usage | Returns |
---|
Polygon.type() | String |
Argument | Type | Details |
---|
this: geometry | Geometry | |
Examples
// 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 type method to the Polygon object.
var polygonType = polygon.type();
// Print the result to the console.
print('polygon.type(...) =', polygonType);
// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(polygon,
{'color': 'black'},
'Geometry [black]: polygon');

Python Environment page for information on the Python API and using
geemap
for interactive development.
