I'd like to get an Bitmaps (or other Container) global bounds, i.e. the bounds of the Container on the stage after rotation, scale, position etc have been applied.
I have the following situation
var stage = new createjs.Stage("canvas");
var parent = new createjs.Container();
parent.x = 50;
parent.rotation = 90;
stage.addChild(parent);
var image = new Image();
image.src = "https://s.imgur.com/images/access/access-logo.png";
image.onload = handleImageLoad;
function handleImageLoad(event) {
var image = event.target;
var child = new createjs.Bitmap(image);
parent.addChild(child);
stage.update();
console.assert(child.getTransformedBounds().width === 65);
console.assert(child.getTransformedBounds().width === 187);
}
See: https://jsfiddle.net/2kr23/48/
The image is 187 wide and 65 high, but after rotating it 90 degrees, I expect it to be 187 high and 65 wide.
EaselJS doesn't currently have a way to get the global bounds of a nested object, however there are a couple of ways you could approach this.
In your specific case, you could simply get the bounds of the parent:
parent.getTransformedBounds().width

A more general approach would be to use localToGlobal() to find the position of the 4 corners in the global coordinate space, then use the min & max extents to get the transformed bounds.
Something like:
function getGlobalBounds(child) {
var tl = child.localToGlobal(0, 0);
var tr = child.localToGlobal(child.image.width, 0);
var br = child.localToGlobal(child.image.width, child.image.height);
var bl = child.localToGlobal(0, child.image.height);
var minX = Math.min(tl.x, tr.x, br.x, bl.x);
var maxX = Math.max(tl.x, tr.x, br.x, bl.x);
var minY = Math.min(tl.y, tr.y, br.y, bl.y);
var maxY = Math.max(tl.y, tr.y, br.y, bl.y);
return new createjs.Rectangle(minX, minY, maxX-minX, maxY-minY);
}
