ee.Geometry.MultiPoint.type

  • The type() method returns the GeoJSON type of a geometry, specifically "MultiPoint" in this case.

  • It can be applied to a MultiPoint object to determine its type, which is returned as a string.

  • The usage is demonstrated with examples in both JavaScript and Python within the Google Earth Engine environment.

 Returns the GeoJSON type of the geometry.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Define a MultiPoint object.
var multiPoint = ee.Geometry.MultiPoint([[-122.082, 37.420], [-122.081, 37.426]]);

// Apply the type method to the MultiPoint object.
var multiPointType = multiPoint.type();

// Print the result to the console.
print('multiPoint.type(...) =', multiPointType);

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

Python setup

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

import ee
import geemap.core as geemap

Colab (Python)

# Define a MultiPoint object.
multipoint = ee.Geometry.MultiPoint([[-122.082, 37.420], [-122.081, 37.426]])

# Apply the type method to the MultiPoint object.
multipoint_type = multipoint.type()

# Print the result.
display('multipoint.type(...) =', multipoint_type)

# Display relevant geometries on the map.
m = geemap.Map()
