ee.Geometry.union
Returns the union of the two geometries.
Usage | Returns |
---|
Geometry.union(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 Geometry object.
var geometry = ee.Geometry({
'type': 'Polygon',
'coordinates':
[[[-122.081, 37.417],
[-122.086, 37.421],
[-122.084, 37.418],
[-122.089, 37.416]]]
});
// Define other inputs.
var inputGeom = ee.Geometry.BBox(-122.085, 37.415, -122.075, 37.425);
// Apply the union method to the Geometry object.
var geometryUnion = geometry.union({'right': inputGeom, 'maxError': 1});
// Print the result to the console.
print('geometry.union(...) =', geometryUnion);
// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(geometry,
{'color': 'black'},
'Geometry [black]: geometry');
Map.addLayer(inputGeom,
{'color': 'blue'},
'Parameter [blue]: inputGeom');
Map.addLayer(geometryUnion,
{'color': 'red'},
'Result [red]: geometry.union');

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