The origin example already mentions that a new document already comes
with a margin box whose bottom left corner is used as the origin for
calculating coordinates.
What has not been told is that there is one helper for "bypassing" the
margin box: <code>canvas</code>. This method is a shortcut for creating a
bounding box mapped to the absolute coordinates and evaluating the code
inside it.
The following snippet draws a circle on each of the four absolute
corners.
