ee.Geometry.MultiLineString.coordinates

  • The coordinates() method returns a GeoJSON-style list of coordinates representing a MultiLineString geometry.

  • This method is applied to a MultiLineString geometry object and returns a list of coordinates.

  • The returned list structure represents the multiple lines within the MultiLineString, with each line containing a series of coordinate points.

  • Example code snippets in JavaScript, Python, and Colab environments are provided 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 MultiLineString object.
var multiLineString = ee.Geometry.MultiLineString(
   [[[-122.088, 37.418], [-122.086, 37.422], [-122.082, 37.418]],
    [[-122.087, 37.416], [-122.083, 37.416], [-122.082, 37.419]]]);

// Apply the coordinates method to the MultiLineString object.
var multiLineStringCoordinates = multiLineString.coordinates();

// Print the result to the console.
print('multiLineString.coordinates(...) =', multiLineStringCoordinates);

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

Python setup
