ee.Geometry.MultiPolygon.containedIn

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

Usage	Returns
MultiPolygon.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.

// Define a MultiPolygon object.

       [-122.086, 37.418],

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

// Apply the containedIn method to the MultiPolygon object.
var multiPolygonContainedIn = multiPolygon.containedIn({'right': inputGeom, 'maxError': 1});

// Print the result to the console.
print('multiPolygon.containedIn(...) =', multiPolygonContainedIn);

// Display relevant geometries on the map.
