ee.Geometry.MultiPolygon.disjoint

  • The disjoint method returns true if and only if two geometries are disjoint.

  • The method is used on a MultiPolygon object with a Geometry as the right operand and returns a Boolean.

  • Optional arguments include maxError for tolerable error during reprojection and proj for specifying the projection.

Returns true if and only if the geometries are disjoint.

UsageReturns
MultiPolygon.disjoint(right, maxError, proj)Boolean
ArgumentTypeDetails
this: leftGeometryThe geometry used as the left operand of the operation.
rightGeometryThe geometry used as the right operand of the operation.
maxErrorErrorMargin, default: nullThe maximum amount of error tolerated when performing any necessary reprojection.
projProjection, default: nullThe 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.

// Apply the disjoint method to the MultiPolygon object.

// Print the result to the console.
