ee.Geometry.Polygon.disjoint

  • The disjoint method determines if two geometries do not share any common points, returning true if they are completely separate.

  • It takes a Geometry as input (right) to compare against the original Geometry (left) and returns a Boolean value.

  • Optional parameters include maxError to control reprojection tolerance and proj to specify the projection for the operation.

 Returns true if and only if the geometries are disjoint.

UsageReturns
Polygon.disjoint(right, maxError, proj)Boolean
ArgumentTypeDetails
this: leftGeometryThe geometry used as the left operand of the operation.
rightGeometryThe geometry used as the right operand of the operation.
maxErrorErrorMargin, default: nullThe maximum amount of error tolerated when performing any necessary reprojection.
projProjection, default: nullThe projection in which to perform the operation. If not specified, the operation will be performed in a spherical coordinate system, and linear distances will be in meters on the sphere.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Define a Polygon object.
var polygon = ee.Geometry.Polygon(
    [[[-122.092, 37.424],
      [-122.086, 37.418],
      [-122.079, 37.425],
      [-122.085, 37.423]]]);

// Define other inputs.
var inputGeom = ee.Geometry.BBox(-122.085, 37.415, -122.075, 37.425);

// Apply the disjoint method to the Polygon object.
var polygonDisjoint = polygon.disjoint({'right': inputGeom, 'maxError': 1});

// Print the result to the console.
print('polygon.disjoint(...) =', polygonDisjoint);

// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(polygon,
             {'color': 'black'},
             'Geometry [black]: polygon');
Map.addLayer(inputGeom,
             {'color': 'blue'},
             'Parameter [blue]: inputGeom');
