A |tcboxfit| has to have a fixed height. If no fixed height is given, a square box is constructed. In principal, most \meta{options} for a \refEnv{tcolorbox} can be used for |\tcboxfit| with some restrictions. A |\tcboxfit| cannot have a lower part and cannot be broken. \enlargethispage*{1cm} \begin{dispExample} % \usepackage{lipsum} \tcbset{colframe=blue!50!black,colback=red!10!white, boxsep=0pt,top=1mm,bottom=1mm,left=1mm,right=1mm, nobeforeafter,width=(\linewidth-2mm)/3} \tcboxfit[height=8cm]{\lipsum[1]}\hfill \tcboxfit[height=4cm]{\lipsum[1]}\hfill \tcboxfit[height=2cm]{\lipsum[1]} \medskip \tcbset{width=(\linewidth-2mm)/2,colback=green!10!white,boxsep=1mm} \tcboxfit[height=4cm]{\lipsum[2]}\hfill \tcboxfit[height=4cm,title=With a title]{\lipsum[2]} \end{dispExample} \end{docCommand} \begin{docCommand}{newtcboxfit}{\marg{\texttt{\textbackslash}name}\oarg{number}\oarg{default}\marg{options}} Creates a new macro \meta{\texttt{\textbackslash}name} based on \refCom{tcboxfit}. Basically, |\newtcboxfit| operates like |\newcommand|. The new macro \meta{\texttt{\textbackslash}name} optionally takes \meta{number}$+1$ arguments, where \meta{default} is the default value for the optional first argument. The \meta{options} are given to the underlying |tcboxfit|. \begin{dispExample*}{sbs,lefthand ratio=0.6} \newtcboxfit{\mybox}{colback=red!5!white, colframe=red!75!black,width=4cm, height=1.5cm,center upper} \mybox{This is my own box.}\par \mybox{This is my own box with more text to be written.} \end{dispExample*} \begin{dispExample*}{sbs,lefthand ratio=0.6} % \usepackage{lipsum} \newtcboxfit{\mybox}[2]{colback=red!5!white, colframe=red!75!black,fonttitle=\bfseries, boxsep=1mm,left=0mm,right=0mm,top=0mm, bottom=0mm,center upper,valign=center, nobeforeafter,width=#1,height=#2} \mybox{2.5cm}{1cm}{First box}% \mybox{2.5cm}{1cm}{Second box with more text}\\ \mybox{5cm}{2cm}{Third box with text}\\ \mybox{5cm}{3cm}{\lipsum[1]} \end{dispExample*} \begin{dispExample*}{sbs,lefthand ratio=0.6} % \usepackage{lipsum} \newtcboxfit{\mybox}[2][]{colback=red!5!white, colframe=red!75!black, width=#2,height=#2/3*2,#1} \mybox[colback=yellow]{5cm}% {\lipsum[2]} \end{dispExample*} \end{docCommand} \begin{docCommand}{tcbfontsize}{\marg{factor}} Selects a font size inside a tcolorbox which is scaled with the given \meta{factor} relative to \docAuxCommand{tcbfitdim}.% %, see Subsection \ref{subsec:fit} from page \pageref{subsec:fit}. \begin{dispExample*}{sbs,lefthand ratio=0.6} \tcbset{colback=red!5!white,colframe=red!75!black} \begin{tcolorbox}[fit basedim=10pt] {\tcbfontsize{0.25} Very tiny,}\\ {\tcbfontsize{0.5} Small,}\\ {\tcbfontsize{1} Normal,}\\ {\tcbfontsize{2} Large,}\\ {\tcbfontsize{4} Huge.} \end{tcolorbox} \end{dispExample*} \end{docCommand} \clearpage \subsection{Option Keys of the Library}\label{subsec:fit} The font size for the content of a box with fixed width and fixed height can be adjusted automatically. 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 '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 \docAuxCommand{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, 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} \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}.

If a \refKey{/tcb/fit width plus} is applied, the title is also adapted to the new width. If counters are increased inside the title text, they may be increased more than one time.
