ee.Geometry.LinearRing.intersects

Returns true if and only if the geometries intersect.

Usage	Returns
`LinearRing.intersects(right, maxError, proj)`	Boolean

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

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Define a LinearRing object.
var linearRing = ee.Geometry.LinearRing(
    [[-122.091, 37.420],
     [-122.085, 37.422],
     [-122.080, 37.430]]);

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

// Apply the intersects method to the LinearRing object.
var linearRingIntersects = linearRing.intersects({'right': inputGeom, 'maxError': 1});

// Print the result to the console.
print('linearRing.intersects(...) =', linearRingIntersects);

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