ee.Geometry.Point.coveringGrid
Returns a collection of features that cover this geometry, where each feature is a rectangle in the grid defined by the given projection.
| Usage | Returns |
|---|
Point.coveringGrid(proj, scale) | FeatureCollection |
| Argument | Type | Details |
|---|
this: geometry | Geometry | The result is the grid cells that intersect with this region. |
proj | Projection | The projection in which to construct the grid. A feature is generated for each grid cell that intersects 'geometry', where cell corners are at integer-valued positions in the projection. If the projection is scaled in meters, the points will be on a grid of that size at the point of true scale. |
scale | Float, default: null | Overrides the scale of the projection, if provided. May be required if the projection isn't already scaled. |
