Ok - let me try again :)

If an object is in the field of view, it will take up part of the image.

If the camera is closer to the object, it will take up more of the image, if
the camera is farther away it will take up less.

If the camera is at _just_ the right distance, the edges of the object will
appear to touch the edge of the image. There would be no space around the
object.

If the aspect of the picture was set _just_ right as well, and the object
was centered in the field of view, the object would touch all 4 sides of the
image at the same time. THAT is what I want to do.

I would like to be able to define an object, and then have the program
automatically place the camera so this is the case.
