Constructs a rectangle whose edges are lines of latitude and longitude.
The result is a planar WGS84 rectangle.
If (east - west) ≥ 360 then the longitude range will be normalized to -180 to +180; otherwise they will be treated as designating points on a circle (e.g., east may be numerically less than west).
| Usage | Returns | ee.Algorithms.GeometryConstructors.BBox(west, south, east, north) | Geometry |
| Argument | Type | Details | west | Float | The westernmost enclosed longitude. Will be adjusted to lie in the range -180 to 180. |
south | Float | The southernmost enclosed latitude. If less than -90 (south pole), will be treated as -90. |
east | Float | The easternmost enclosed longitude. |
north | Float | The northernmost enclosed latitude. If greater than +90 (north pole), will be treated as +90. |

[null,null,["Last updated 2024-07-13 UTC."],[],["This describes creating a WGS84 rectangle using latitude and longitude. The function `BBox` takes four float arguments: `west`, `south`, `east`, and `north`, representing the rectangle's boundaries. Longitude values are normalized to -180 to +180 if the difference between `east` and `west` is 360 or more; otherwise they define points on a circle. Latitude values are clamped between -90 and +90. The function returns a Geometry object.\n"]]
