#### 2.2.1.3 Object bounds

The bounds of an object is the smallest bounding rectangle of the object, expressed in document coordinates (see Coordinate system).

Function: object-bounds objects... ¶

  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 `object`s).

  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.

Function: fold-bounds bounds... ¶

  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.
