ee.Geometry.BBox.projection

  • The projection() method returns the projection of a geometry.

  • The method is applied to a BBox object using BBox.projection().

  • The method takes this as an argument, which refers to the geometry itself.

  • The examples demonstrate how to use the projection() method in both JavaScript and Python.

 Returns the projection of the geometry.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

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

// Apply the projection method to the BBox object.
var bBoxProjection = bBox.projection();

// Print the result to the console.
print('bBox.projection(...) =', bBoxProjection);

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