ArgumentTypeDetails
valueObjectThe value of the pixels in the constant image. Must be a number or an Array or a list of numbers or Arrays.

Examples

// Create a constant image, where every pixel has bands of the same value.
var image1 = ee.Image.constant(1);
Map.addLayer(image1, null, '1');
// Image (1 band)
// type: Image
// bands: List (1 element)
// 0: "constant", int ∈ [1, 1], EPSG:4326
print(image1);

var image2 = ee.Image(2);
Map.addLayer(image2, null, '2');
// Image (1 band)
// type: Image
// bands: List (1 element)
// 0: "constant", int ∈ [2, 2], EPSG:4326
print(image2);

var π = ee.Image(Math.PI);
Map.addLayer(π, null, 'π');
// Image (1 band)
// type: Image
// bands: List (1 element)
