      How do you get the boundingbox of groups and components?

      group.bounds or instance.bounds just return a boudingbox aligned to the world axis...

        ...brainwave as I clicked "Submit"...

        Get the definition bounds and transform it by the instance's transformation.

            hm.... one can't transform BoundingBoxes....

            So I need to:

            1. get the boundingbox of the definition
            2. collect the points of the bb (which I need anyway to send to view.draw)
            3. transform the collection of points.
