ee.Geometry.BBox.coordinates

  • The coordinates() method returns a GeoJSON-style list of a geometry's coordinates, specifically for a bounding box (BBox) geometry.

  • It takes a Geometry object, specifically a BBox, as input and returns a list of coordinates.

  • This method can be used to extract the coordinates of a bounding box for further processing or analysis within the Earth Engine environment.

  • Example code snippets are provided in JavaScript and Python to demonstrate the usage and output of the coordinates() method.

 Returns a GeoJSON-style list of the geometry's coordinates.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Define a BBox object.
var bBox = ee.Geometry.BBox(-122.09, 37.42, -122.08, 37.43);

// Apply the coordinates method to the BBox object.
var bBoxCoordinates = bBox.coordinates();

// Print the result to the console.
print('bBox.coordinates(...) =', bBoxCoordinates);

// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(bBox,
             {'color': 'black'},
             'Geometry [black]: bBox');

Python setup

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