ee.Geometry.Point.projection

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

  • The method is applied to a geometry object, such as a Point.

  • Examples are provided for both JavaScript and Python, demonstrating how to use the method and display the results.

 Returns the projection of the geometry.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

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

// Apply the projection method to the Point object.
var pointProjection = point.projection();

// Print the result to the console.
print('point.projection(...) =', pointProjection);

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

Python setup

# Print the result.
display('point.projection(...) =', point_projection)

# Display relevant geometries on the map.
