Description: Returns the bounding box of a geometry

A bounding box geometry is an invisible rectangular (2D) shape that tightly encloses any given object or set of points, defined by its minimum and maximum coordinates along each axis (x, y). It's a simple, efficient way to represent an object's spatial extent, used in computer graphics, CAD, and GIS for collision detection, visibility tests, data searching, and optimizing rendering by quickly determining if objects are near each other.
