bounds property
ShapeBase.bounds property
Gets or sets the location and size of the containing block of the shape.
@property
def bounds(self) -> aspose.pydrawing.RectangleF:
...
@bounds.setter
def bounds(self, value: aspose.pydrawing.RectangleF):
...
Remarks
Ignores aspect ratio lock upon setting.
For a top-level shape, the value is in points and relative to the shape anchor.
For shapes in a group, the value is in the coordinate space and units of the parent group.
