ee.Geometry.MultiPoint.bounds

  • Returns the rectangular bounds of a given geometry as a Geometry object.

  • Accepts optional maxError for reprojection tolerance and proj for specifying the output projection (defaults to EPSG:4326).

  • Can be applied to MultiPoint geometries to determine their outer boundaries.

 Returns the bounding rectangle of the geometry.

UsageReturns
MultiPoint.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 MultiPoint object.
var multiPoint = ee.Geometry.MultiPoint([[-122.082, 37.420], [-122.081, 37.426]]);

// Apply the bounds method to the MultiPoint object.
var multiPointBounds = multiPoint.bounds();

// Print the result to the console.
print('multiPoint.bounds(...) =', multiPointBounds);

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