Translate the input image.
| Usage | Returns | Image.translate(x, y, units, proj) | Image |
| Argument | Type | Details | this: input | Image | |
x | Float | The amount to translate the image in the x direction. |
y | Float | The amount to translate the image in the y direction. |
units | String, default: "meters" | The units for x and y; 'meters' or 'pixels'. |
proj | Projection, default: null | The projection in which to translate the image; defaults to the projection of the first band. |
