Creates a 2D identity matrix of the given size.
| Usage | Returns | ee.Array.identity(size) | Array |
| Argument | Type | Details | size | Integer | The length of each axis. |
Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
// []
print(ee.Array.identity(0));
// [[1]]
print(ee.Array.identity(1));
// [[1,0],
// [0,1]]
print(ee.Array.identity(2));
// [[1,0,0],
// [0,1,0],
// [0,0,1]]
print(ee.Array.identity(3));
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)
# []
display(ee.Array.identity(0))
# [[1]]
display(ee.Array.identity(1))
# [[1, 0],
# [0, 1]]
display(ee.Array.identity(2))
# [[1, 0, 0],
# [0, 1, 0],
# [0, 0, 1]]
display(ee.Array.identity(3))
