Measuring a Shape in Global Coordinates
The function described in this section allows you to determine the bounding rectangle of a shape in the global coordinates of its view group. Other QuickDraw GX functions are available to measure shapes in other contexts:

To determine a shape's bounding rectangle in local coordinates, use the GXGetShapeLocalBounds function, described on page 7-96.
To determine a shape's bounding rectangle on a view device, use the GXGetShapeDeviceBounds function, described on page 7-116.
To determine a shape's bounding rectangle in geometry-space coordinates, use the GXGetShapeBounds function, described in the geometric operations chapter of Inside Macintosh: QuickDraw GX Graphics.
