# Normally when we provide the top left corner of a bounding box we
# express the coordinates relative to the margin box. This is not the
# case when we have nested bounding boxes. Once nested the inner bounding box
# coordinates are relative to the outter bounding box.
#
# This example shows some nested bounding boxes with fixed and stretchy heights.
# Note how the <code>cursor</code> method returns coordinates relative to
# the current bounding box.
