Fn GraphicsImportGetBoundsRect(grphImpComp,docRect) works ok for me.

Might can use:

' (typed in email, verify)

Local Fn GetRect(r as ^rect, pictH as handle)
dim docRect as Rect
dim as GraphicsImportComponent  @grphImpComp
dim as ComponentResult          crslt

crslt =  fn GraphicsImportGetAsPicture(grphImpComp,pictH)

'Then call

crslt  =  Fn GraphicsImportGetBoundsRect(grphImpComp,docRect)
if crslt = _noErr then BlockMove @docRect,  r, 8
crslt   = fn CloseComponent(grphImpComp)

end fn = crslt

'If you want to nab a file from disk direct, can use

'fn GetGraphicsImporterForFile(inSpec, grphImpComp) // FSSpec

'first.

'rc
