fit rect to bound of imported svg
hæ—
I feel like I'm having a bit of a brain fart over this.
I'm trying to make a rect fit to the bounds of an imported sag, how would I accomplish this ?

Here is one way...
- Set the rect position to the centroid of the svg
- Set the rect width to a lookup on the svg with a key of "bounds.width"
- Set the rect height to a lookup on the svg with a key of "bounds.height"
The attached zip file contains a NodeBox document that does this along with an svg of a world map you can use to test it. To keep things tidy I colorized the rect to make the fill transparent with a black stroke width of 1, then combined the rect with the original svg to create a world map with a rectangular frame. Give it a few seconds to render.
Hope that helps!
John

ah ! of course, brilliant.
I was getting part of the way there by using a lookup, but didn't expose the properties of bound in terms of height and width.
thankyou !

Use the “fit to” node to fit one node to another.
