It is not clear whether the getBounds() methods of drawable objects return absolute coordinates, or relative coordinates respective so some point (e.g., the centroid). The latter is used by dsol; the former is what you would intuitively expect. The comments state: "Retrieve the bounding rectangle of the object", which does not make it any more clear.
Research different options:
split getBounds() into getRelativeBounds() and getAbsoluteBounds()
just improve documentation
see what to do when an object is translated or rotated on the screen -- what are its bounds?
No matter what we choose, the method's javadoc HAS to be made more clear.
