Gnome::Canvas::Rect - Boundingbox

[Matthias Bläsing <mblaesing gmx de>]

Hey,

maybe I'm to stupid to see the problem - but maybe it's a bug. I try to
take an Gnome::Canvas::Rect and put a Text on top - so far so good. They
belong to the same CanvasGroup and so I can rearange them as group.

The problems begin when I try to determin the bounding-box of the whole
group - I get the size of the text-bounging box:

my $item_group = Gnome2::Canvas::Item->new($root, 
                'Gnome2::Canvas::Group', x=>0.0, y=>0.0);
my $text = Gnome2::Canvas::Item->new($item_group, 
                'Gnome2::Canvas::Text',
                text => $item->{id} . " - " . $item->{head},
                x => 0,
                y => 0,
                font => 'Sans 12',
                anchor => 'center');
my ($x1, $y1, $x2, $y2) = $text->get_bounds;
my $rect = Gnome2::Canvas::Item->new($item_group,  
                'Gnome2::Canvas::Rect',
                x1=>$x1,
                y1=>$y1,
                x2=>$x2,
                y2=>$y2,
                outline_color=>'black',
                fill_color=>'yellow',
                width_units=>4.0);
$rect->lower(1);

No I query the bounding-box of each Item for the text-item I get
something sensible, for the group I get the same as for the text
(probably caused by missing box of the rect)

For the rect I get:

(0,0,0,0)

I would have expected something like:

($x1, $y1, $x2, $y2)

So shouldn't a Rect also have a bounding box?

Thanks

Matthias
