Returns the bounding rectangle of the geometry.
| Usage | Returns | Point.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
Code Editor (JavaScript)
// Define a Point object.
var point = ee.Geometry.Point(-122.082, 37.42);
// Apply the bounds method to the Point object.
var pointBounds = point.bounds();
// Print the result to the console.
print('point.bounds(...) =', pointBounds);
// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(point,
{'color': 'black'},
'Geometry [black]: point');
Map.addLayer(pointBounds,
{'color': 'red'},
'Result [red]: point.bounds');
