ee.Geometry.MultiLineString.geometries

  • The geometries() method returns a list of geometries from a GeometryCollection or a singleton list for single geometries.

  • The geometries() method is used on a geometry object and returns a list.

  • Examples are provided in JavaScript and Python demonstrating how to use the geometries() method on a MultiLineString.

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

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Define a MultiLineString object.
var multiLineString = ee.Geometry.MultiLineString(
   [[[-122.088, 37.418], [-122.086, 37.422], [-122.082, 37.418]],
    [[-122.087, 37.416], [-122.083, 37.416], [-122.082, 37.419]]]);

// Apply the geometries method to the MultiLineString object.
var multiLineStringGeometries = multiLineString.geometries();

// Print the result to the console.
print('multiLineString.geometries(...) =', multiLineStringGeometries);

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