title: Get the bounding box of a selected SVG element
body: <p>I want to read: </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><code>width</code>,<code>height</code>,<code>x</code>,<code>y</code> measurements</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>for a particular SVG element.</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>I suppose that easiest way to go about this is to fetch the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_bounding_box" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><em>minimum bounding box</em></a> first and read it's properties. </p>
  
  <p>How can I access this?</p>
