Returns a feature containing the bounding box of the geometry of a given feature.
| Usage | Returns | Feature.bounds(maxError, proj) | Feature |
| Argument | Type | Details | this: feature | Element | The feature the bound of which is being calculated. |
maxError | ErrorMargin, default: null | The maximum amount of error tolerated when performing any necessary reprojection. |
proj | Projection, default: null | If specified, the result will be in this projection. Otherwise it will be in EPSG:4326. |
