ee.Geometry.Rectangle.disjoint

  • The disjoint() method returns true only if the geometries do not intersect.

  • It takes a Geometry as the right operand for comparison and optional error margin and projection parameters.

  • The operation is performed spherically with distances in meters unless a projection is specified.

 Returns true if and only if the geometries are disjoint.

UsageReturns
Rectangle.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 Rectangle object.
var rectangle = ee.Geometry.Rectangle(-122.09, 37.42, -122.08, 37.43);

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

// Apply the disjoint method to the Rectangle object.
var rectangleDisjoint = rectangle.disjoint({'right': inputGeom, 'maxError': 1});

// Print the result to the console.
print('rectangle.disjoint(...) =', rectangleDisjoint);

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