Returns the GeoJSON type of the geometry.
Usage | Returns | Point.type() | String |
Argument | Type | Details | this: geometry | Geometry | |
Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
// Define a Point object.
var point = ee.Geometry.Point(-122.082, 37.42);
// Apply the type method to the Point object.
var pointType = point.type();
// Print the result to the console.
print('point.type(...) =', pointType);
// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(point,
{'color': 'black'},
'Geometry [black]: point');
Python setup

# Display relevant geometries on the map.
