ee.Geometry.LineString.projection

Page Summary

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

• This method is applicable to LineString geometries and returns a Projection object.

Returns the projection of the geometry.

Usage	Returns
LineString.projection()	Projection

Argument	Type	Details
this: geometry	Geometry

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

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

// Apply the projection method to the LineString object.
var lineStringProjection = lineString.projection();

// Print the result to the console.
print('lineString.projection(...) =', lineStringProjection);

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