I was aware of the set/get boundingbox methods, but initially avoided them 
because of the LL vs UL reference. I changed my mind when I realized that 
adding get_boundingbox to the root_figure would be helpful.

If there is no objection, I'll push the change later today. First I want to 
look at the impact on a few other bugs and run the dump demos script.
