Geometry.minLatitude Function

Format

d = geometry_name.minLatitude();

Description

The Geometry.minLatitude function finds the smallest latitude value of any point on any element in the Geometry object named geometry_name. Together with the Geometry.maxLatitude, Geometry.minLongitude, and Geometry.maxLongitude functions it is possible to find the full extent of the geometry.

Return Value

The function returns the smallest latitude value of any point or any point on a line or polygon in the geometry. If the Geometry object is empty, the function returns default.

Example

// Declare a map
Map mymap;

// Load geometry from a file
Geometry geom;
geom.load("geom.geojson");

// Add geometry to the map
mymap.addGeometry(geom);

// Zoom map to fit the bounds of the geometry with 5% padding
mymap.zoomTo(geom.minLatitude(), geom.minLongitude(), geom.maxLatitude(), geom.maxLongitude(), 5);

// Show the map
mymap.show();
