ee.Geometry.projection

  • Theprojection() method returns the projection of a Geometry object.

  • The method is used with ageometry argument of typeGeometry.

  • The method returns a value of typeProjection.

  • Examples are provided in both JavaScript and Python to demonstrate usage.

 Returns the projection of the geometry.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Define a Geometry object.vargeometry=ee.Geometry({'type':'Polygon','coordinates':[[[-122.081,37.417],[-122.086,37.421],[-122.084,37.418],[-122.089,37.416]]]});// Apply the projection method to the Geometry object.vargeometryProjection=geometry.projection();// Print the result to the console.print('geometry.projection(...) =',geometryProjection);// Display relevant geometries on the map.Map.setCenter(-122.085,37.422,15);Map.addLayer(geometry,{'color':'black'},'Geometry [black]: geometry');
