ee.Geometry.Point.coordinates

  • coordinates() returns a GeoJSON-style list of a geometry's coordinates.

  • This method is applied to a Geometry object, specifically demonstrated with a Point object in the examples.

  • The output is a list of coordinate values, representing the location of the geometry.

  • Example code snippets are provided for JavaScript, Python setup with geemap, and Python in Colab.

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

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Define a Point object.
var point = ee.Geometry.Point(-122.082, 37.42);

// Apply the coordinates method to the Point object.
var pointCoordinates = point.coordinates();

// Print the result to the console.
print('point.coordinates(...) =', pointCoordinates);

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

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 Point object.
point = ee.Geometry.Point(-122.082, 37.42)

# Apply the coordinates method to the Point object.
point_coordinates = point.coordinates()

# Print the result.
display('point.coordinates(...) =', point_coordinates)

# Display relevant geometries on the map.
m = geemap.Map()
m.set_center(-122.085, 37.422, 15)
m.add_layer(point, {'color': 'black'}, 'Geometry [black]: point')
