The inkscape GUI shows an object's X, Y, W and H across the top. You can also get these from the command line by querying all objects in the SVG file.

I cannot see anything in the inkex module which will provide this information.

https://inkscape.gitlab.io/extensions/documentation/source/inkex.elements._base.html?highlight=bounding%20box#inkex.elements._base.ShapeElement.bounding_box

selection_list = self.svg.selected

for item in selection_list:

     item_id = item.get_id()

     bbox = item.bounding_box()

     inkex.errormsg(f'item id {item_id} x1 {bbox.left} y1 {bbox.top} width {bbox.width} height {bbox.height}')

The bounding box of text cannot be obtained this way.

Hi,

 I want to know with and height of a text object. But nothing above is working. When I print bbox I obtain this:

BoundingBox((-56.0, -56.0),(-187.13548107485641, -187.13548107485641))

Is anyone can help me.

Thank's
