Bounding Box of Group

How do you get the Bounding Box of a group that you just created and zoom center on that same group?

    To zoom to the center of the group, use the axlZoomToDbid(groupdbid t) command.

    After zooming, you could use axlWindowBoxGet() to get the bounding box of the window.  If you really need just the bounding box of the items in the group; get the bounding boxes of all the group members and calculate it using the minimum x/y and maximum x/y of all the bounding boxes.
