ee.Geometry.BBox.geometries

AI-generated Key Takeaways

• The geometries() method returns a list of geometries within a GeometryCollection or a single geometry if applied to individual geometries.

• This method is applicable to Geometry objects, such as BBox, and provides access to their underlying geometric components.

• The output is a List containing the extracted geometries.

• Usage examples are provided in JavaScript and Python, illustrating how to retrieve and utilize the geometries of a bounding box.

Returns the list of geometries in a GeometryCollection, or a singleton list of the geometry for single geometries.

Usage	Returns
BBox.geometries()	List

Argument	Type	Details

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

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

// Apply the geometries method to the BBox object.
var bBoxGeometries = bBox.geometries();

// Print the result to the console.
print('bBox.geometries(...) =', bBoxGeometries);

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

Python setup
