AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
Returns the smallest rectangle containing the geometry, also known as the bounding box.
-
Can optionally be reprojected using the
proj
argument or with a tolerance set bymaxError
. -
The result is a Geometry object.
-
By default, the bounding box is computed in the EPSG:4326 projection.
Usage | Returns |
---|---|
Geometry.bounds(maxError, proj) | Geometry |
Argument | Type | Details |
---|---|---|
this: geometry | Geometry | Return the bounding box of this geometry. |
maxError | ErrorMargin, default: null | The maximum amount of error tolerated when performing any necessary reprojection. |
proj | Projection, default: null | If specified, the result will be in this projection. Otherwise it will be in EPSG:4326. |
