A |tcboxfit| has to have a fixed height. If no fixed height is given, a square box is constructed. In principle, most \meta{options} for a \refEnv{tcolorbox} can be used for |\tcboxfit| with some restrictions.

This is called the \emph{fitbox capture mode}. Note that the fit control algorithm constructs a series of versions for the box and selects the \enquote{best}. Therefore, the compilation time is quite longer than for a normal box. The algorithm will fail, if a different selected font size does not change the overall size of the box content. The \refCom{tcboxfit} macro uses this algorithm by default. \medskip \begin{marker} The fit control keys are only applicable to unbreakable boxes without a lower part. The box content should not change counters. \end{marker} \medskip \enlargethispage*{5mm} \begin{docTcbKey}{fit}{}{style, initially unset} Sets the \refKey{/tcb/capture} mode to |fitbox|, i.\,e.\ enables the font size adjustment algorithm. Thereby, a \refEnv{tcolorbox} acts like \refCom{tcboxfit} where the given \meta{box content} is fitted to the width and height of the box. Therefore, the box has to have a fixed height. If no fixed height is given, a square box is constructed. The font dimension \refCom{tcbfitdim} can also be used to adjust the margins of the box since a box with a tiny font may not need large margins. The number of constructed boxes is saved to the macro \docAuxCommand{tcbfitsteps} for analysis. \begin{dispExample} % \usepackage{lipsum} % \tcbuselibrary{skins} \newtcolorbox{fitting}[2][]{fit,height=#2,boxsep=1pt,valign=center,opacityupper=0.5, top=0.4\tcbfitdim,bottom=0.4\tcbfitdim,left=0.75\tcbfitdim,right=0.75\tcbfitdim, enhanced,watermark text={\tcbfitsteps},colframe=blue!75!black,colback=white,#1} \begin{fitting}{4cm} \lipsum[1] \end{fitting} \begin{fitting}{2cm} \lipsum[2] \end{fitting} \begin{fitting}{1cm} \lipsum[3] \end{fitting} \end{dispExample} \end{docTcbKey} \clearpage \begin{docTcbKey}{fit to}{=\meta{width} and \meta{height}}{style, initially unset} Shortcut for using \refKey{/tcb/fit} and setting the \meta{width} and \meta{height} values separately. \begin{dispExample*}{sbs,lefthand ratio=0.6} \tcbset{colback=red!5!white,colframe=red!75!black} \begin{tcolorbox}[fit to=3cm and 2cm] This box content is fitted to the given dimensions. \end{tcolorbox} \end{dispExample*} \end{docTcbKey} \begin{docTcbKey}{fit to height}{=\meta{height}}{style, initially unset} Shortcut for using \refKey{/tcb/fit} and setting the \meta{height} value separately. \begin{dispExample*}{sbs,lefthand ratio=0.6} \tcbset{colback=red!5!white,colframe=red!75!black} \begin{tcolorbox}[fit to height=2cm] This box content is fitted to the given height. \end{tcolorbox} \end{dispExample*} \end{docTcbKey} \begin{docTcbKey}{fit basedim}{=\meta{length}}{no default, initially |10pt|} Sets the starting font dimension for the font size adjustment algorithm to \meta{length}.
