I'd like to set up a scene that I'll be using a wide variety of images in, and
I'd like to be able to accurately and reliably fit the whole image to the screen
(image_map) when the scene is rendered, regardless of the dimensions - square,
wide and short, or tall and narrow.

I have something reasonably workable - but I was wondering if there was a
standard coding for this, given that so many software applications have some
sort of fit page / fit width option.

Thanks!

If you want the output image format to also adapt, then you're out of luck.

Nope, nothing inbuilt at present.

I can specify that in SDL

I just need a calculation to plug into the beginning of the scene or use as a
macro.

I'm currently using:

#declare Picture = pigment {image_map {png "Image.png"}}
#declare Resolution = max_extent (Picture);
#declare PictureScale = (Resolution + <0, 0, 1>);
camera {location <Resolution.x/2, Resolution.y/2, -max(Resolution.x,
Resolution.y)*1.5>}
