I have a dictionary of % landcover from the 2016 NLCD. I am having trouble trying to make a bar chart to show the percentage of each land cover class in a given area (DEM vector). The dictionary is an object w/ 15 properties - I want the data in this object to be used for a bar chart. 

///////////Load Landcover dataset////////////
var dataset = ee.Image('USGS/NLCD/NLCD2016')
  .clip(aoi) ;
print(dataset);
var landcover = dataset.select('landcover');
var landcoverVis = {
  min: 0.0,
  max: 95.0,
  palette: [

Maybe something like this?

var chart = ui.Chart.feature.byProperty(
  ee.Feature(null, new_dict)
)
print(chart)

  • wow im embarassed by how easy that was..lol thank you! Any idea on how to get landcover names instead of values on the xaxis?

  • Nothing to be embarrassed about - docs about EE charts is not that clear. It's mostly trial-and-error for me. Getting labels requires some massaging of your dictionary: code.earthengine.google.com/2e8646c6f7d591171e7f9fd578af14a6
