Thanks for catching my syntax error. Your problem with the Center_Trans macro
may be to another of my mistakes; Do you see the unmatched closing brace at the
end of the line? It would of course disappear when you comment/delete that line.

Also, it isn't enough for your object to merely encompass the origin, it must be
precisely centered or the FitScaleY transform won't behave properly. You may
have meant that . . . but . . .I wrote it :D
