ee.Geometry.MultiPoint.containedIn

AI-generated Key Takeaways

• The containedIn method returns true if one geometry is contained within another.

• This method takes the geometry to check against (right) and optional parameters for maxError and proj.

• The result is a boolean indicating whether the left geometry is contained in the right geometry.

Returns true if and only if one geometry is contained in the other.

Usage	Returns
MultiPoint.containedIn(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.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Define a MultiPoint object.
var multiPoint = ee.Geometry.MultiPoint([[-122.082, 37.420], [-122.081, 37.426]]);

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

// Apply the containedIn method to the MultiPoint object.
var multiPointContainedIn = multiPoint.containedIn({'right': inputGeom, 'maxError': 1});

// Print the result to the console.
print('multiPoint.containedIn(...) =', multiPointContainedIn);

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