Announcement: All noncommercial projects registered to use Earth Engine before April 15, 2025 must verify noncommercial eligibility to maintain Earth Engine access.
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.

It takes a right-side geometry (`right`), an optional `maxError` for reprojection tolerance, and an optional `proj` for specifying the operation's projection. It returns `true` if the left geometry (`this`) is contained within the right, and false otherwise. Examples demonstrate its use with a `MultiLineString` and a bounding box, and how to print the output and add them on a map.\n"]]
