ee.Geometry.LineString.disjoint

  • Thedisjoint method returnstrue if two geometries do not intersect.

  • The method can take optionalmaxError andproj parameters for handling reprojection.

  • The examples demonstrate how to use thedisjoint method with a LineString geometry and a BBox input in both JavaScript and Python.

 Returns true if and only if the geometries are disjoint.

UsageReturns
LineString.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.
