ee.Geometry.LineString.getInfo

  • The getInfo() method retrieves the value of an object from the server.

  • getInfo() can be used synchronously or asynchronously, with the asynchronous mode being preferred.

  • The method takes an optional callback function to enable asynchronous behavior.

  • It returns the computed value of the object as an Object.

Retrieves the value of this object from the server.

If no callback function is provided, the request is made synchronously. If a callback is provided, the request is made asynchronously.

The asynchronous mode is preferred because the synchronous mode stops all other code (for example, the EE Code Editor UI) while waiting for the server. To make an asynchronous request, evaluate() is preferred over getInfo().

Returns the computed value of this object.

UsageReturns
LineString.getInfo(callback)Object
ArgumentTypeDetails
this: computedobjectComputedObjectThe ComputedObject instance.
callbackFunction, optionalAn optional callback. If not supplied, the call is made synchronously.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Define a LineString object.
var lineString = ee.Geometry.LineString([[-122.09, 37.42], [-122.08, 37.43]]);

// Apply the getInfo method to the LineString object.
var lineStringGetInfo = lineString.getInfo();

// Print the result to the console.
print('lineString.getInfo(...) =', lineStringGetInfo);

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

Python setup

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

# Define a LineString object.

# Apply the getInfo method to the LineString object.
linestring_get_info = linestring.getInfo()

# Print the result.
display('linestring.getInfo(...) =', linestring_get_info)

# Display relevant geometries on the map.
