getBBox method

DOMRect getBBox([ SVGBoundingBoxOptions options ])

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 called—even 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 Element.getBoundingClientRect, as the latter returns value relative to the viewport
