<p> <code>Group</code>'s <code>getBounds()</code> method could be
understood to be a conservative approximation of the bounding box of a
group. If that is true, then it would be a legal (and much faster)
implementation of <code>getBounds()</code> to simply always return a
-rectangle consisting of the entire canvas, that is
+rectangle consisting of the entire canvas. The entire canvas is returned
+by the static method <code>FigureElement.MAX_BOUNDS</code>.

-new Rectangle(FigureElement.MIN_VALUE, FigureElement.MIN_VALUE,
- FigureElement.MAX_VALUE - FigureElement.MIN_VALUE,
- FigureElement.MAX_VALUE - FigureElement.MIN_VALUE)

<p> Write an aspect to implement this change. You can override
<code>Group</code>'s <code>getBounds()</code> method entirely with
around advice intercepting the method.
</p>
-<p> Your code should pass the JUnit test case
-<code>tests.Test4a</code> with this change.

<p> Instead of making the (very) conservative approximation of
<code>getBounds()</code> from part (a), write an aspect instead that
<p> <em>Hint: You can use an inter-type declaration to keep some
state for every <code>Group</code> object.</em> </p>

<h3>c. Invalidate, part 1</h3>
+<p> <strong>Problem:</strong> Pass <code>tests.Test4c</code>.

+
+<p> <strong>Tools:</strong> <code>before</code>
+</p>
+
<p> While caching in this way does save computation, it will lead to
incorrect bounding boxes if a <code>Group</code> is ever moved.
Change your aspect so that it invalidates the cache whenever the
<code>move()</code> method of <code>Group</code> is called.

<h3>d. Invalidate, part 2</h3>
+<p> <strong>Problem:</strong> Pass <code>tests.Test4d</code>.</p>
+
+<p> <strong>Tools:</strong> <code>your solution to 3c</code></p>
+
<p> Of course, part (c) didn't really solve the problem. What if a
<code>Point</code> that is part of a <code>Group</code> moves?
Whenever either of a Point's fields are set it should invalidate the
slightly different than the problem in 3c: Here you care about fields,
where there you cared about method calls. </p>

<p> Did you really do part (d) correctly? Run the JUnit test
<code>tests.Test4e</code> to see. If you pass, congratulations, now
go help other people. Otherwise, you have fallen prey to our cruel
