ee.Geometry.LineString.coordinates

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

  • This method is accessible through the LineString object and returns a list of coordinate pairs.

  • Usage examples are provided in both JavaScript and Python, demonstrating how to retrieve and utilize the coordinates of a LineString.

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

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Define a LineString object.
var lineString = ee.Geometry.LineString([[-122.09, 37.42], [-122.08, 37.43]]);

// Apply the coordinates method to the LineString object.
var lineStringCoordinates = lineString.coordinates();

// Print the result to the console.
print('lineString.coordinates(...) =', lineStringCoordinates);

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

Python setup

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