Returns a collection of features that cover this geometry, where each feature is a rectangle in the grid defined by the given projection.

this: geometry
Geometry
The result is the grid cells that intersect with this region.
proj
Projection
The projection in which to construct the grid. A feature is generated for each grid cell that intersects 'geometry', where cell corners are at integer-valued positions in the projection. If the projection is scaled in meters, the points will be on a grid of that size at the point of true scale.
scale
Float, default: null
Overrides the scale of the projection, if provided. May be required if the projection isn't already scaled.

It uses a specified `Projection` to define the grid, with cell corners at integer-valued positions. An optional `scale` argument can override the projection's scale. The function identifies and returns features for each grid cell intersecting the input geometry within the defined projection. Each generated feature represents one rectangle cell of the grid.\n"]]
