      A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
      The bounds class provides you with min/max x and y coordinates as well as width and height. A very frequent use case is to get the center. So you have to code all the time, e. g. for the x coordinate

      getMinX() + getWidth() / 2.0

      It would be very helpful and more readable if the Bounds method would simply support a getCenterX() method.

      JUSTIFICATION :
      Helps readability and solves a frequent use case.

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      getCenterX() would return getMinX() + getWidth() / 2.0
      getCenterY() would return getMinY() + getHeight() / 2.0
      ACTUAL -
      There is no such method. Except for the Circle node, but why the Circle node is the exception is beyond me.
