AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
Returns the rectangular bounding box that fully encloses the input geometry.
-
Accepts optional
maxError
andproj
arguments for reprojection and output projection control. -
The result is a Geometry object representing the bounding box.
-
If
proj
is not specified, the bounding box will be in EPSG:4326.
Usage | Returns |
---|---|
Polygon.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. |
