ee.Geometry.Point.bounds

Returns the bounding rectangle of the geometry.

UsageReturns
Point.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 Point object.
var point = ee.Geometry.Point(-122.082, 37.42);

// Apply the bounds method to the Point object.
var pointBounds = point.bounds();

// Print the result to the console.
print('point.bounds(...) =', pointBounds);

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