Object boundaries [message #40209]

Is it possible to determine the boundaries of an object in an object
graphics view? For example, say that I wanted the coordinates of an
IDLgrAxis with it's annotations included. I'd like to get the
coordinates which describe the bounding box of the axis and everything
else associated with it (title, tick labels, tick marks, etc).

I have some other annotations in this view, and I want to make sure that
there is sufficient spacing between these annotations and the
annotations automatically created for the axis. I am currently
positioning the other annotations at exact locations and most of the
time they're fine, but if my axis gets some long tick labels which
causes the axis title to get pushed out, the title can collide with the
other annotations. I'm just searching for a way to position my other
stuff relative to boundary of the axis annotation to ensure that there
won't be any overlap. Ideas?
