Collectors are an alternative to overlays that can be used to build-up composite objects.
[[Layers]] , on the other hand, are used to define whole pages.
See the [[manual:details.pdf| details]] manual for further explanations.

Notice that the size of the collected object grows as text is added.
As a consequence, the positions of the corners get redefined as the bounding box grows.
