ee.Geometry.MultiLineString.intersection
Returns the intersection of the two geometries.
Usage | Returns |
---|
MultiLineString.intersection(right, maxError, proj) | Geometry |
Argument | Type | Details |
---|
this: left | Geometry | The geometry used as the left operand of the operation. |
right | Geometry | 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. |
Examples
// Define a MultiLineString object.
var multiLineString = ee.Geometry.MultiLineString(
[[[-122.088, 37.418], [-122.086, 37.422], [-122.082, 37.418]],
[[-122.087, 37.416], [-122.083, 37.416], [-122.082, 37.419]]]);
// Define other inputs.
var inputGeom = ee.Geometry.BBox(-122.085, 37.415, -122.075, 37.425);
// Apply the intersection method to the MultiLineString object.
var multiLineStringIntersection = multiLineString.intersection({'right': inputGeom, 'maxError': 1});
// Print the result to the console.
print('multiLineString.intersection(...) =', multiLineStringIntersection);
// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(multiLineString,
{'color': 'black'},
'Geometry [black]: multiLineString');
Map.addLayer(inputGeom,
{'color': 'blue'},
'Parameter [blue]: inputGeom');
Map.addLayer(multiLineStringIntersection,
{'color': 'red'},
'Result [red]: multiLineString.intersection');
