ee.Geometry.BBox.bounds
Returns the bounding rectangle of the geometry.
Usage | Returns |
---|
BBox.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
// Define a BBox object.
var bBox = ee.Geometry.BBox(-122.09, 37.42, -122.08, 37.43);
// Apply the bounds method to the BBox object.
var bBoxBounds = bBox.bounds();
// Print the result to the console.
print('bBox.bounds(...) =', bBoxBounds);
// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(bBox,
{'color': 'black'},
'Geometry [black]: bBox');
Map.addLayer(bBoxBounds,
{'color': 'red'},
'Result [red]: bBox.bounds');

Python Environment page for information on the Python API and using
geemap
for interactive development.

# Apply the bounds method to the BBox object.
bbox_bounds = bbox.bounds()
# Print the result.
display('bbox.bounds(...) =', bbox_bounds)
# Display relevant geometries on the map.
m = geemap.Map()
m.set_center(-122.085, 37.422, 15)

It accepts optional arguments `maxError` to define the allowed error during reprojection and `proj` to specify the output projection. If `proj` is not defined, the output defaults to EPSG:4326.
