Argument

Type

Description

geometryValueLeft

WTK String or

Geometry Object

Geometry value being used to calculate if it covers the geometryValueRight.

geometryValueRight

WTK String or

Geometry Object

The geometry being checked.

decimalPlaces

Integer

The number of decimal places to use in the geometry calculations. Defaults to 0 if not provided. Can also take negative values e.g. -1 uses geometry to the nearest 10.
