Get Window Rect

The Get Window Rect command of the WebDriver API returns the size and position of the given WebElement. Many WebDriver clients present separate API methods for getting an element's location and dimensions, but as an optimization they both use this primitive.

The command operates on the currently selected window, and returns size and position of the operating system window. The returned WindowRect can be used as input for the Set Window Rect command, which is for manipulating a window's position and dimensions.
