bounds

Calculates the bounds (also named bbox - bounding box or extent) of the geometry. The bounds are the minimum rectangle that contains the entire geometry.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
geometry	Geometry	The geometry for which the bounds are calculated

Returns

[ number, number, number, number ]

An array of four numbers [ xMin, yMin, xMax, yMax ]

Throws

• GEOSError when called on an empty geometry

See also

• box creates Polygon geometry from the bounds array

Examples

const pt = point([ 3, 1 ]);
const ptExtent = bounds(pt); // [ 3, 1, 3, 1 ]
const poly = polygon([ [ [ 3, 3 ], [ 9, 4 ], [ 5, 1 ], [ 3, 3 ] ] ]);
const polyExtent = bounds(poly); // [ 3, 1, 9, 4 ]

const pt = point([ 3, 1 ]); const ptExtent = bounds(pt); // [ 3, 1, 3, 1 ] const poly = polygon([ [ [ 3, 3 ], [ 9, 4 ], [ 5, 1 ], [ 3, 3 ] ] ]); const polyExtent = bounds(poly); // [ 3, 1, 9, 4 ]
