ee.Image.arrayTranspose

Transposes two dimensions of each array pixel.

Usage	Returns
Image.arrayTranspose(axis1, axis2)	Image

Argument	Type	Details
this: input	Image	Input image.
axis1	Integer, default: 0	First axis to swap.
axis2	Integer, default: 1	Second axis to swap.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// A function to print arrays for a selected pixel in the following examples.
function sampArrImg(arrImg) {
  var point = ee.Geometry.Point([-121, 42]);
  return arrImg.sample(point, 500).first().get('array');
}

// Create a 2D array image.
var arrayImg2D = ee.Image([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]).toArray().arrayReshape(
  ee.Image([2, 3]).toArray(), 2);
print('2D 2x3 array image (pixel)', sampArrImg(arrayImg2D));
// [[0, 1, 2],
//  [3, 4, 5]]

// Swap 0-axis and 1-axis. Input is a 2x3 array, output will be 3x2.
var transposed = arrayImg2D.arrayTranspose();
print('Transposed (3x2) array image (pixel)', sampArrImg(transposed));
// [[0, 3],
//  [1, 4],
//  [2, 5]]
