AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
The
bounds()method returns the bounding rectangle of a geometry. -
This method takes optional
maxErrorandprojarguments to specify the maximum allowed error during reprojection and the desired output projection. -
The default output projection is EPSG:4326 if
projis not specified. -
Example usage in JavaScript and Python demonstrates how to apply the
bounds()method to a Point object and visualize the result.

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. |

// Define a Point object. var point = ee . Geometry . Point ( - 122.082 , 37.42 ); // Apply the bounds method to the Point object. var pointBounds = point . bounds (); // Print the result to the console. print ( 'point.bounds(...) =' , pointBounds ); // Display relevant geometries on the map. Map . setCenter ( - 122.085 , 37.422 , 15 ); Map . addLayer ( point , { 'color' : 'black' }, 'Geometry [black]: point' ); Map . addLayer ( pointBounds , { 'color' : 'red' }, 'Result [red]: point.bounds' );
