ee.Geometry.Point.aside
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Calls a function passing this object as the first argument, and returning itself. Convenient e.g. when debugging:
var c = ee.ImageCollection('foo').aside(print)
.filterDate('2001-01-01', '2002-01-01').aside(print, 'In 2001')
.filterBounds(geom).aside(print, 'In region')
.aside(Map.addLayer, {min: 0, max: 142}, 'Filtered')
.select('a', 'b');
Returns the same object, for chaining.
| Usage | Returns | Point.aside(func, var_args) | ComputedObject |
| Argument | Type | Details | this: computedobject | ComputedObject | The ComputedObject instance. |
func | Function | The function to call. |
var_args | VarArgs<Object> | Any extra arguments to pass to the function. |
Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
var point = ee.Geometry.Point([-122.08412, 37.42189]);
point.aside(print);
Python setup
See the
Python Environment page for information on the Python API and using
geemap for interactive development.

Colab (Python)
def print_result(val, message):
"""A print function to invoke with the aside method."""
