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

  • The method does not require any arguments.

  • Examples demonstrate how to use the method in JavaScript and Python.

 Returns the projection of the geometry.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Define a Rectangle object.
var rectangle = ee.Geometry.Rectangle(-122.09, 37.42, -122.08, 37.43);

// Apply the projection method to the Rectangle object.
var rectangleProjection = rectangle.projection();

// Print the result to the console.
print('rectangle.projection(...) =', rectangleProjection);

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