AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
Returns the bounding rectangle (Geometry) that encompasses the input geometry.
-
Accepts optional
maxError
for reprojection tolerance andproj
to specify the output projection (defaults to EPSG:4326). -
Can be applied to any Geometry object to determine its outer boundaries.
Usage | Returns |
---|---|
LineString.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. |
