ee.Geometry.Point.transform
Transforms the geometry to a specific projection.
| Usage | Returns |
|---|
Point.transform(proj, maxError) | Geometry |
| Argument | Type | Details |
|---|
this: geometry | Geometry | The geometry to reproject. |
proj | Projection, optional | The target projection. Defaults to EPSG:4326. If this has a geographic CRS, the edges of the geometry will be interpreted as geodesics. Otherwise they will be interpreted as straight lines in the projection. |
maxError | ErrorMargin, default: null | The maximum projection error. |
