ee.Geometry.disjoint

AI-generated Key Takeaways

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

• It takes a right geometry as a required argument and optional maxError and proj arguments.

• The result is a boolean indicating whether the geometries are disjoint.

Returns true if and only if the geometries are disjoint.

Usage	Returns
Geometry.disjoint(right, maxError, proj)	Boolean

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.

// Define a Geometry object.
var geometry = ee.Geometry({
  'type': 'Polygon',
  'coordinates':
    [[[-122.081, 37.417],
      [-122.086, 37.421],
      [-122.084, 37.418],
      [-122.089, 37.416]]]
});

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

// Apply the disjoint method to the Geometry object.
var geometryDisjoint = geometry.disjoint({'right': inputGeom, 'maxError': 1});

// Print the result to the console.
print('geometry.disjoint(...) =', geometryDisjoint);

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