ee.Geometry.MultiLineString.bounds

  • Returns the bounding rectangle (Geometry) that encompasses the entire MultiLineString geometry.

  • Accepts optional maxError and proj arguments for reprojection and output projection control.

  • maxError manages the error tolerance during reprojection, while proj defines the output projection (defaults to EPSG:4326).

  • Useful for determining the overall spatial extent of a MultiLineString.

 Returns the bounding rectangle of the geometry.

UsageReturns
MultiLineString.bounds(maxError, proj)Geometry
ArgumentTypeDetails
this: geometryGeometryReturn the bounding box of this geometry.
maxErrorErrorMargin, default: nullThe maximum amount of error tolerated when performing any necessary reprojection.
projProjection, default: nullIf specified, the result will be in this projection. Otherwise it will be in EPSG:4326.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Define a MultiLineString object.
var multiLineString = ee.Geometry.MultiLineString(
   [[[-122.088, 37.418], [-122.086, 37.422], [-122.082, 37.418]],
    [[-122.087, 37.416], [-122.083, 37.416], [-122.082, 37.419]]]);

// Apply the bounds method to the MultiLineString object.
var multiLineStringBounds = multiLineString.bounds();

// Print the result to the console.
print('multiLineString.bounds(...) =', multiLineStringBounds);

// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(multiLineString,
             {'color': 'black'},
             'Geometry [black]: multiLineString');
Map.addLayer(multiLineStringBounds,
             {'color': 'red'},
             'Result [red]: multiLineString.bounds');
