Returns a filter that passes if the specified geometry has an area within the given range (inclusive).
| Usage | Returns | ee.Filter.area(min, max, maxError, geometrySelector) | Filter |
| Argument | Type | Details | min | Float | Minimum area in square meters (inclusive). |
max | Float | Maximum area in square meters (inclusive). |
maxError | ErrorMargin, default: null | The maximum allowed error for computing the geometry's area. |
geometrySelector | String, default: null | The name of the geometry property to use for filtering. Leave blank or use '.geo' to operate on the object's geometry. |
