The SVGGraphicsElement.getBBox()
method allows us to determine the coordinates of the smallest rectangle in which the object fits. The coordinates returned are with respect to the current SVG space (after the application of all geometry attributes on all the elements contained in the target element).
Note: getBBox()
must return the actual bounding box at the time the method was calledâeven in case the element has not yet been rendered. It also does not account for any transformation applied to the element or its parents.
Note: getBBox
returns different values than getBoundingClientRect()
, as the latter returns value relative to the viewport
getBBox()
getBBox(options)
Parameters
options
Experimental Optional
An options dictionary used to control which parts of the element are included in the bounding box. The available options are:
fill
A boolean value indicating that the fill should be included in the bounding box, defaults to true
.
stroke
A boolean value indicating that the stroke should be included in the bounding box, defaults to false
.
markers
A boolean value indicating that the markers should be included in the bounding box, defaults to false
.
clipped
A boolean value indicating that the bounding box should be clipped, defaults to false
.
The returned value is an SVGRect
object, which defines the bounding box. This value is irrespective of any transformation attribute applied to it or the parent elements.
