 **Task:** Pass ''tests.BoundsConstant''.
-The ''getBounds()'' method of a ''Group'' could be understood to be a conservative approximation of the bounding box of a group. If that is true, then it would be a legal (and much faster) implementation of ''getBounds()'' to simply always return a rectangle consisting of the entire canvas. The entire canvas is returned by the static member ''FigureElement.MAX_BOUNDS''. Write an aspect to implement this change.
+A first, very crude approximation of the bounding box, would be to return the entire drawing canvas. This is certainly very fast to calculate (it is a constant value), although it might mean excessive redrawing.
+Implement an aspect to return the entire canves when the ''getBounds()'' method of a ''Group'' is invoked. The entire canvas can be retrieved through the static field ''MAX_BOUNDS'' of ''FigureElement''.
