ee.Geometry.Point.geometries

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

  • When applied to a Point object, the geometries() method returns a List.

  • The geometries() method takes a geometry argument of type Geometry.

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

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Define a Point object.
var point = ee.Geometry.Point(-122.082, 37.42);

// Apply the geometries method to the Point object.
var pointGeometries = point.geometries();

// Print the result to the console.
print('point.geometries(...) =', pointGeometries);

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

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)

# Define a Point object.
point = ee.Geometry.Point(-122.082, 37.42)

# Apply the geometries method to the Point object.
point_geometries = point.geometries()

# Print the result.
display('point.geometries(...) =', point_geometries)

# Display relevant geometries on the map.
m = geemap.Map()
m.set_center(-122.085, 37.422, 15)
