ee.Geometry.geometries

AI-generated Key Takeaways

The geometries() method returns a list of geometries from a GeometryCollection or a singleton list for single geometries.
The Geometry.geometries() method returns a list.
The method takes a geometry object as an argument.
The provided examples demonstrate how to use the geometries() method in JavaScript and Python.

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