ee.Geometry.Point.projection

  • Returns the projection of a given geometry, such as a point.

  • The projection() method can be applied to a Geometry object to obtain its projection.

  • Examples are provided in JavaScript, Python using geemap and within Colab using Python to demonstrate the usage of the projection() method.

 Returns the projection of the geometry.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

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

// Apply the projection method to the Point object.
var pointProjection = point.projection();

// Print the result to the console.
print('point.projection(...) =', pointProjection);

// 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 projection method to the Point object.
point_projection = point.projection()

# Print the result.
display('point.projection(...) =', point_projection)

# 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')
