# GlyphField.getBounds

## Summary
GlyphField.getBounds returns the current bounds value derived from this GlyphField runtime state.

## Syntax
```ts
GlyphField.getBounds(): Bounds3
const result = glyphField.getBounds();
```

## Parameters
This API does not take parameters.

## Returns
`Bounds3` - Bounds structure containing axis-aligned box and bounding-sphere data.

## Type Details
### Bounds3

```ts
type Bounds3 = {

    boxMin: Vec3;

    boxMax: Vec3;

    sphereCenter: Vec3;

    sphereRadius: number;

    empty: boolean;

    partial: boolean;

};
```

#### Bounds3 Fields
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `boxMin` | `Vec3` | Yes | Minimum corner of the axis-aligned bounding box. |
| `boxMax` | `Vec3` | Yes | Maximum corner of the axis-aligned bounding box. |
| `sphereCenter` | `Vec3` | Yes | Center of the associated bounding sphere. |
| `sphereRadius` | `number` | Yes | Numeric input controlling `sphereRadius` for this operation. |
| `empty` | `boolean` | Yes | Boolean flag that toggles `empty` behavior. |
| `partial` | `boolean` | Yes | Boolean flag that toggles `partial` behavior. |

### Vec3

```ts
type Vec3 = [number, number, number];
```

## Example
```js
const canvas = document.querySelector("canvas");
const wgpu = await WasmGPU.create(canvas);

const glyphField = wgpu.createGlyphField({ instanceCount: 1, positions: new Float32Array([0, 0, 0, 0]), rotations: new Float32Array([0, 0, 0, 1]), scales: new Float32Array([1, 1, 1, 0]), attributes: new Float32Array([0.5, 0, 0, 0]), scaleTransform: { mode: "linear", domainMin: 0, domainMax: 1 } });
const result = glyphField.getBounds();
console.log(result);
```
