`boundingbox` for `GlyphCollections`

[hexaeder]

In GraphMakie on Makie@0.20 we used to use

using GLMakie
fig, ax, p = text([(0,0),(0,1)]; text=["foo", "bar"])

glyphcollections = p.plots[1][1][]

boundingbox(glyphcollections[1], Quaternion((1,0,0,0))) # bouding box of text "foo"
boundingbox(glyphcollections[2], Quaternion((1,0,0,0))) # bouding box of text "bar"

to get the the bounding box of single elements within a textplot to draw node shapes around it in the correct size.

This solution (...which admittedly abused internals...) does not work anymore in Makie@0.21. Any suggestions on how to replace it?

boundingbox(plot, plot.markerspace[]) will give you a bounding box for the text plot with positions included, and string_boundingbox(glyph_collection, pos, rot) = unchecked_boundingbox(glyph_collection, pos, rot) will give you one without if you set pos = Point3d(0). The former is public, the latter still internal.

Thank you! For now unchecked_boundingbox is a working replacement. Of course it would be nice to go to the documented API. boundingbox(plot, plot.markerspace[]) will still give me a bounding box for the entire text plot. What I need specifically is the bounding box for each individual label. Am I missing something?
