ee.Geometry.Rectangle.geometries

  • The geometries() method returns a list of geometries contained within a GeometryCollection or a singleton list for single geometries like Rectangles.

  • This method is applicable to Geometry objects, such as Rectangles, and returns a List object.

  • The provided examples demonstrate the usage of geometries() in JavaScript and Python to retrieve and display geometries from a Rectangle object.

 Returns the list of geometries in a GeometryCollection, or a singleton list of the geometry for single geometries.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

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

// Apply the geometries method to the Rectangle object.
var rectangleGeometries = rectangle.geometries();

// Print the result to the console.
print('rectangle.geometries(...) =', rectangleGeometries);

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

Python setup
