ee.Geometry.BBox.difference

Returns the result of subtracting the 'right' geometry from the 'left' geometry.

Usage	Returns
BBox.difference(right, maxError, proj)	Geometry

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.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Define a BBox object.
var bBox = ee.Geometry.BBox(-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 difference method to the BBox object.
var bBoxDifference = bBox.difference({'right': inputGeom, 'maxError': 1});

// Print the result to the console.
print('bBox.difference(...) =', bBoxDifference);

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