ee.Geometry.LinearRing.type

  • The type() method returns the GeoJSON type of a geometry as a string, in this case, specifically for a LinearRing geometry.

  • The method can be applied to a LinearRing object in Earth Engine to identify its type as "LinearRing".

  • Usage is demonstrated through code examples in both JavaScript and Python environments, including Google Colab.

 Returns the GeoJSON type of the geometry.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Define a LinearRing object.
var linearRing = ee.Geometry.LinearRing(
    [[-122.091, 37.420],
     [-122.085, 37.422],
     [-122.080, 37.430]]);

// Apply the type method to the LinearRing object.
var linearRingType = linearRing.type();

// Print the result to the console.
print('linearRing.type(...) =', linearRingType);

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

Python setup

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

import ee
import geemap.core as geemap

Colab (Python)

# Define a LinearRing object.
linearring = ee.Geometry.LinearRing(
    [[-122.091, 37.420], [-122.085, 37.422], [-122.080, 37.430]]
)

# Apply the type method to the LinearRing object.
linearring_type = linearring.type()

# Print the result.
display('linearring.type(...) =', linearring_type)

# Display relevant geometries on the map.
m = geemap.Map()
m.set_center(-122.085, 37.422, 15)
