# ee.Geometry.LineString.bounds

Returns the bounding rectangle of the geometry.

<br />

| Usage | Returns |
|---|---|
| `LineString.bounds(*maxError*, *proj*)` | Geometry |

| Argument | Type | Details |
|---|---|---|
| this: `geometry` | 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. |

## Examples

### Code Editor (JavaScript)

```javascript
// Define a LineString object.
var lineString = ee.Geometry.LineString([[-122.09, 37.42], [-122.08, 37.43]]);

// Apply the bounds method to the LineString object.
var lineStringBounds = lineString.bounds();

// Print the result to the console.
print('lineString.bounds(...) =', lineStringBounds);

// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(lineString,
             {'color': 'black'},
             'Geometry [black]: lineString');
Map.addLayer(lineStringBounds,
             {'color': 'red'},
             'Result [red]: lineString.bounds');
```
Python setup

See the [Python Environment](https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/guides/python_install) page for information on the Python API and using
`geemap` for interactive development.

```python
import ee
import geemap.core as geemap
```

### Colab (Python)

```python
# Define a LineString object.
linestring = ee.Geometry.LineString([[-122.09, 37.42], [-122.08, 37.43]])

# Apply the bounds method to the LineString object.
linestring_bounds = linestring.bounds()

# Print the result.
display('linestring.bounds(...) =', linestring_bounds)

# Display relevant geometries on the map.
m = geemap.Map()
m.set_center(-122.085, 37.422, 15)
m.add_layer(linestring, {'color': 'black'}, 'Geometry [black]: linestring')
m.add_layer(
    linestring_bounds, {'color': 'red'}, 'Result [red]: linestring.bounds'
)
m
