LngLatBounds

Defined in: src/geo/lng_lat_bounds.ts:41

A LngLatBounds object represents a geographical bounding box, defined by its southwest and northeast points in longitude and latitude.

If no arguments are provided to the constructor, a null bounding box is created.

Note that any Mapbox GL method that accepts a LngLatBounds object as an argument or option can also accept an Array of two LngLatLike constructs and will perform an implicit conversion. This flexible type is documented as LngLatBoundsLike.

Example

let sw = new LngLat(-73.9876, 40.7661);
let ne = new LngLat(-73.9397, 40.8002);
let llb = new LngLatBounds(sw, ne);
