AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
The
intersectsmethod returns true if and only if two geometries intersect. -
It takes a right geometry as a required argument and optional
maxErrorandprojarguments. -
The
maxErrorargument sets the maximum tolerated error during reprojection, andprojspecifies the projection for the operation.

| Argument | Type | Details |
|---|---|---|
|
this:
left
|
Geometry | The geometry used as the left operand of the operation. |
right
|
Geometry | The geometry used as the right operand of the operation. |
maxError
|
ErrorMargin, default: null | The maximum amount of error tolerated when performing any necessary reprojection. |
proj
|
Projection, default: null | The 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. |
