Returns the bounding rectangle of the geometry.
| Usage | Returns | Geometry.bounds(maxError, proj) | Geometry |
| Argument | Type | Details | this: geometry | Geometry | Return the bounding box of this geometry. |
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. |
Examples

// Define a Geometry object.
var geometry = ee.Geometry({
'type': 'Polygon',
'coordinates':
[[[-122.081, 37.417],
[-122.086, 37.421],
[-122.084, 37.418],
[-122.089, 37.416]]]
});
// Apply the bounds method to the Geometry object.
var geometryBounds = geometry.bounds();
// Print the result to the console.
print('geometry.bounds(...) =', geometryBounds);
// Display relevant geometries on the map.

Map.addLayer(geometryBounds,
