ee.Geometry.Rectangle.geometries
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Returns the list of geometries in a GeometryCollection, or a singleton list of the geometry for single geometries.
| Usage | Returns | Rectangle.geometries() | List |
| Argument | Type | Details | this: geometry | Geometry | |
Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
// Define a Rectangle object.
var rectangle = ee.Geometry.Rectangle(-122.09, 37.42, -122.08, 37.43);
// Apply the geometries method to the Rectangle object.
var rectangleGeometries = rectangle.geometries();
// Print the result to the console.
print('rectangle.geometries(...) =', rectangleGeometries);
// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(rectangle,
{'color': 'black'},
'Geometry [black]: rectangle');

Python Environment page for information on the Python API and using
geemap for interactive development.
