Returns the bounding rectangle of the geometry.
| Usage | Returns | MultiPolygon.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. |
