    <p>Hi,</p>
    <p>I want to read a project file and get the extent when the project
      was saved.</p>
    <p>In QGIS, <br>
    </p>
    <p><tt>iface.mapCanvas().extent()</tt></p>
    <p>does exactly what I want. But I want to run a script outside
      QGIS.<br>
    </p>
    <p>I've already tried:</p>
    <p><tt>QgsApplication.setPrefixPath("/usr", True)</tt><tt><br>
      </tt><tt>qgs = QgsApplication([], False)</tt><tt><br>
      </tt><tt># Load providers</tt><tt><br>
      </tt><tt>qgs.initQgis()</tt><tt><br>
      </tt><tt><br>
      </tt><tt>project = QgsProject.instance()</tt><tt><br>
      </tt><tt>project.read(projectpath)</tt></p>
    <p><tt>print(project.crs().authid()) </tt><tt><br>
      </tt></p>
    <p><tt>root = project.layerTreeRoot()</tt><tt><br>
      </tt><tt>canvas = QgsMapCanvas()</tt></p>
    <p><tt>bridge = QgsLayerTreeMapCanvasBridge(root, canvas)</tt><tt><br>
      </tt></p>
    <p><tt>print(canvas.extent())</tt><tt><br>
      </tt><tt>print(canvas.fullExtent())</tt><tt><br>
      </tt><tt>print(canvas.mapSettings().extent())</tt><tt><br>
      </tt><tt>print(canvas.mapSettings().fullExtent())</tt><tt><br>
      </tt><tt>print(canvas.mapSettings().visibleExtent())</tt></p>
    <p>All of these extents are much wider than the canvas extent when
      the project was saved.</p>
    <p>The extent is there, in the project file. I can read it as XML
      and get the extent.</p>
    <p><tt>  <mapcanvas annotationsVisible="1"
        name="theMapCanvas"></tt><tt><br>
      </tt><tt>    <units>meters</units></tt><tt><br>
      </tt><tt>    <extent></tt><tt><br>
      </tt><tt>      <xmin>-22630.49319827121144044</xmin></tt><tt><br>
      </tt><tt>      <ymin>208610.29666395089589059</ymin></tt><tt><br>
      </tt><tt>      <xmax>-22314.35674389618725399</xmax></tt><tt><br>
      </tt><tt>      <ymax>208889.62023152899928391</ymax></tt><tt><br>
      </tt><tt>    </extent></tt><br>
      <br>
    </p>
    <p>But I would like to use the API.</p>
    <p>Thanks in advance,</p>
    <p>Jorge<br>
