--Resize the frame to a specific size.
set geometric bounds of myFrame to {0, 0, 144, 144}
--Fit the graphic to the frame proportionally.
fit myFrame given proportionally
--Next, fit frame to the resized graphic.
fit myFrame given frame to content
set myBounds to geometric bounds of myFrame
set myGraphicWidth to (item 4 of myBounds) - (item 2 of myBounds)
--Move the graphic frame.
set myPageWidth to page width of document preferences of myDocument
set myMarginPreferences to margin preferences of page 1 of myDocument
