Geometric boundaries for any path

Hello,

Is there an easy way to get geometric boundaries for any given path?

You can get the rectangular bounds of a bezier path by calling the bounds method on the underlying nsbezierpath object. This may not be a documented feature, so there is guarantee that it will always work. This will give you the rectangular bounds.

Probably easier with an example:

nofill()
stroke(0)
autoclosepath(close=False)
 
## Create Path
beginpath(87,200)
curveto(347, 32, 144, 588, 409, 326)
p = endpath()
 
## call bounds method on underlying cocoa path object
## this returns an NSRect which can be treated like a 2x2 array 
## representing the top left-hand corner and the width and height
bounds =  p._nsBezierPath.bounds()
rect(bounds[0][0], bounds[0][1], bounds[1][0], bounds[1][1])

Thank you!
