ee.Geometry.Rectangle.coordinates

  • The coordinates() method returns a GeoJSON-style list of a geometry's coordinates, specifically for Rectangle objects.

  • This method takes a Geometry object, such as a Rectangle, as input and returns a List of coordinates.

  • Example code snippets demonstrate how to use the coordinates() method in both JavaScript and Python environments within the Earth Engine Code Editor and Colab.

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

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Define a Rectangle object.
var rectangle = ee.Geometry.Rectangle(-122.09, 37.42, -122.08, 37.43);

// Apply the coordinates method to the Rectangle object.
var rectangleCoordinates = rectangle.coordinates();

// Print the result to the console.
print('rectangle.coordinates(...) =', rectangleCoordinates);

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

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 Rectangle object.
rectangle = ee.Geometry.Rectangle(-122.09, 37.42, -122.08, 37.43)

# Apply the coordinates method to the Rectangle object.
rectangle_coordinates = rectangle.coordinates()

# Print the result.
display('rectangle.coordinates(...) =', rectangle_coordinates)

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