ee.Geometry.BBox.disjoint

  • This function, disjoint, determines if two geometries do not intersect spatially and returns true if they are disjoint, otherwise false.

  • It takes a Geometry object as input for the right parameter, an optional maxError for reprojection tolerance, and an optional proj to define the projection for the operation.

  • The operation defaults to a spherical coordinate system with distances in meters on the sphere if no projection is specified.

 Returns true if and only if the geometries are disjoint.

UsageReturns
BBox.disjoint(right, maxError, proj)Boolean
ArgumentTypeDetails
this: leftGeometryThe geometry used as the left operand of the operation.
rightGeometryThe geometry used as the right operand of the operation.
maxErrorErrorMargin, default: nullThe maximum amount of error tolerated when performing any necessary reprojection.
projProjection, default: nullThe 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

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Define a BBox object.
var bBox = ee.Geometry.BBox(-122.09, 37.42, -122.08, 37.43);

// Define other inputs.
var inputGeom = ee.Geometry.BBox(-122.085, 37.415, -122.075, 37.425);

// Apply the disjoint method to the BBox object.
var bBoxDisjoint = bBox.disjoint({'right': inputGeom, 'maxError': 1});

// Print the result to the console.
print('bBox.disjoint(...) =', bBoxDisjoint);

// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(bBox,
             {'color': 'black'},
             'Geometry [black]: bBox');
Map.addLayer(inputGeom,
             {'color': 'blue'},
             'Parameter [blue]: inputGeom');
