<p>Return a glyph's ‘control box’. The control box encloses all the outline's points, including Bézier control points. Though it coincides with the exact bounding box for most glyphs, it can be slightly larger in some situations (like when rotating an outline that contains Bézier outside arcs).</p>
<p>Computing the control box is very fast, while getting the bounding box can take much more time as it needs to walk over all segments and arcs in the outline. To get the latter, you can use the ‘ftbbox’ component, which is dedicated to this single task.</p>

<h4>note</h4>
<p>Coordinates are relative to the glyph origin, using the y upwards convention.</p>
<p>If the glyph has been loaded with <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_LOAD_XXX">FT_LOAD_NO_SCALE</a>, ‘bbox_mode’ must be set to <a href="ft2-glyph_management.html#FT_Glyph_BBox_Mode">FT_GLYPH_BBOX_UNSCALED</a> to get unscaled font units in 26.6 pixel format. The value <a href="ft2-glyph_management.html#FT_Glyph_BBox_Mode">FT_GLYPH_BBOX_SUBPIXELS</a> is another name for this constant.</p>
<p>If the font is tricky and the glyph has been loaded with <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_LOAD_XXX">FT_LOAD_NO_SCALE</a>, the resulting CBox is meaningless. To get reasonable values for the CBox it is necessary to load the glyph at a large ppem value (so that the hinting instructions can properly shift and scale the subglyphs), then extracting the CBox, which can be eventually converted back to font units.</p>
<p>Note that the maximum coordinates are exclusive, which means that one can compute the width and height of the glyph image (be it in integer or 26.6 pixels) as:</p>
<pre class="colored">
width = bbox.xMax - bbox.xMin;
height = bbox.yMax - bbox.yMin;
</pre>
<p>Note also that for 26.6 coordinates, if ‘bbox_mode’ is set to <a href="ft2-glyph_management.html#FT_Glyph_BBox_Mode">FT_GLYPH_BBOX_GRIDFIT</a>, the coordinates will also be grid-fitted, which corresponds to:</p>
<pre class="colored">
bbox.xMin = FLOOR(bbox.xMin);
bbox.yMin = FLOOR(bbox.yMin);
bbox.xMax = CEILING(bbox.xMax);
bbox.yMax = CEILING(bbox.yMax);
</pre>
<p>To get the bbox in pixel coordinates, set ‘bbox_mode’ to <a href="ft2-glyph_management.html#FT_Glyph_BBox_Mode">FT_GLYPH_BBOX_TRUNCATE</a>.</p>
<p>To get the bbox in grid-fitted pixel coordinates, set ‘bbox_mode’ to <a href="ft2-glyph_management.html#FT_Glyph_BBox_Mode">FT_GLYPH_BBOX_PIXELS</a>.</p>
