[null,null,["Last updated 2023-10-06 UTC."],[],["This describes the creation of a filter that checks if a left geometry contains a right geometry. The filter, accessible via `ee.Filter.contains`, accepts either `leftField` and `rightField` (selectors) or `leftValue` and `rightValue` (objects) to define the geometries. An optional `maxError` argument specifies the maximum allowable reprojection error. The function returns a `Filter` object. Empty geometries are never considered contained.\n"]]
