ee.Geometry.MultiPolygon.coordinates

  • MultiPolygon.coordinates() returns a GeoJSON-style list of coordinates representing the MultiPolygon geometry.

  • This method takes a Geometry object, specifically a MultiPolygon, as input.

  • The output is a List containing the coordinates of the MultiPolygon's vertices.

  • You can use this method to access and manipulate the coordinates defining the shape of a MultiPolygon.

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

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Define a MultiPolygon object.
var multiPolygon = ee.Geometry.MultiPolygon(
    [[[[-122.092, 37.424],
       [-122.086, 37.418],
       [-122.079, 37.425],
       [-122.085, 37.423]]],
     [[[-122.081, 37.417],
       [-122.086, 37.421],
       [-122.089, 37.416]]]]);

// Apply the coordinates method to the MultiPolygon object.
var multiPolygonCoordinates = multiPolygon.coordinates();

// Print the result to the console.
print('multiPolygon.coordinates(...) =', multiPolygonCoordinates);

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