Thanks - this seems to work well for graphics (but is a bit slow). Nathan This message and any attachments, may contain confidential and/or legally privileged information.

In[130]:= r1 = Graphics[Rectangle[{0, 0}, {1, 10}]]; In[131]:= r2 = Graphics[Rectangle[{0, 0}, {1, 2}]]; In[132]:= Rasterize[r1, "RasterSize"] Out[132]= {46, 432} In[133]:= Rasterize[Show[r1, ImagePadding -> 0, PlotRangePadding -> 0], "RasterSize"] Out[133]= {43, 432} In[134]:= Rasterize[Show[r2, ImagePadding -> 0, PlotRangePadding -> 0], "RasterSize"] Out[134]= {216, 432} This should generally be more robust than most other methods I can think of, though a bit slower than some other methods, since it has to ask the frontend for information about the rendered result instead of using information available to the kernel. The kernel has no idea about things like font metrics and so this is probably a better approach if you're interested in (styled) text. Brett Champion Wolfram Research
