Discussion
The frame is the smallest rectangle that contains the node’s content, taking into account the node’s x, y, and z properties.
Since SKNode does not draw content of its own, its frame size is arbitrary; it's the visual subclasses of SKNode that do draw that define the frame's size with a meaningful value that encloses its visual content.
To get a rect that encloses all the child nodes of an SKNode parent object, use calculate.
