# `GSBoundsPen overestimatingBoundsPen`

*Type Method*

The computed bounds are guaranteed to be no smaller than the bounds computed by a pen returned by `-boundsPen`.

## Declaration

```swift
class func overestimating() -> Self!
```

```objc
+ (instancetype) overestimatingBoundsPen;
```

```python
overestimatingBoundsPen() -> GSBoundsPen
```

## Discussion

The implementation of this pen may be more efficient than the one of `-boundsPen`. For example, a Bézier path may report the bounds of its nodes instead of computing the bounds of its curves.
