Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
On an element-wise basis, selects the minimum of the first and second values.
| Usage | Returns | Array.min(right) | Array |
| Argument | Type | Details | this: left | Array | The left-hand value. |
right | Array | The right-hand value. |
Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
var empty = ee.Array([], ee.PixelType.int8());
print(empty.min(empty)); // []
print(ee.Array([0, 1, 2, 3]).min(ee.Array([-1, 3, 0, 2]))); // [-1,1,0,2]
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)
empty = ee.Array([], ee.PixelType.int8())
display(empty.min(empty)) # []
# [-1, 1, 0, 2]
display(ee.Array([0, 1, 2, 3]).min(ee.Array([-1, 3, 0, 2])))
