ee.Feature.contains
Returns true if and only if the geometry of one feature contains the geometry of another.
| Usage | Returns |
|---|
Feature.contains(right, maxError, proj) | Boolean |
| Argument | Type | Details |
|---|
this: left | Element | The feature containing the geometry used as the left operand of the operation. |
right | Element | The feature containing the geometry used as the right operand of the operation. |
maxError | ErrorMargin, default: null | The maximum amount of error tolerated when performing any necessary reprojection. |
proj | Projection, default: null | The projection in which to perform the operation. If not specified, the operation will be performed in a spherical coordinate system, and linear distances will be in meters on the sphere. |
