If you want, I can release a version of the tree macro that gives you the
upper and lower corners of the containing box. It's very easy actually,
since all the objects positions are known in <x,y,z> coordinates in the
macro. In fact it's so handy that I wish I had thought of that earlier...
Thanks.
