The bounds of an object is the smallest bounding rectangle of the object, expressed in document coordinates (see Coordinate system).
Returns the world coordinate bounding box containing all of the
objects passed as arguments, or ‘#f’ if none of the
objects have bounds (for example, this can occur if no
objects are specified, or if they are all empty component
objects).
Note: object-bounds always returns the actual bounds
of the objects, not the visible bounds. This means that the bounds of
invisible text is always included.
Calculates the union of several sets of bounds (as returned by
object-bounds). If any of the bounds are ‘#f’, they
are skipped; if all of the bounds are ‘#f’, ‘#f’ is
returned.
