ee.Geometry.BBox.disjoint

  • The disjoint method returns true if and only if two geometries do not intersect.

  • It takes a right geometry, an optional maxError for reprojection tolerance, and an optional proj for specifying the projection.

  • The method can be applied to a geometry object, with another geometry passed as the right argument.

  • Example usage in JavaScript and Python demonstrates how to define geometries, apply the disjoint method, and display the results.

 Returns true if and only if the geometries are disjoint.

UsageReturns
BBox.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 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 disjoint method to the BBox object.
var bBoxDisjoint = bBox.disjoint({'right': inputGeom, 'maxError': 1});

// Print the result to the console.
print('bBox.disjoint(...) =', bBoxDisjoint);

// 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');
