How to determine the size of an object

[Matthieu Hendriks]

Is there a way of determining the x1, x2, y1 and y2 of an object, say the outer limits of an object? if I thougt maybe bbox but when I use bbox I get somthing like multmatrix([[1, 0, 0, 0], [0, 1, 0, 0], [0, 0, 1, 10.5], [0, 0, 0, 1]]) but i'm not sure how to interpretet this.

Like to hear.

Objects have a size and a position property:

```python
print(cube(10).size)
print(cube(10).position)

```

This works for all 3D objects.

I just realized though, that 2D objects don't (e.g. `square(10)` or `circle(r=10)`). I will add those.

Thanks this is exactly what I'm needed.
