Hello Scott,
I'm using the following script which fits the image to the box with the
smallest possible percentage. But it adds about half a percent to be on
the safe side: the offset values must be negative ones, especially when
the box has a frame (else, there will be a white hairline for sure):
---
tell document 1 of application "QuarkXPress 4.11"
activate
tell current box
tell image 1
if bounds is not {0, 0, 0, 0} then
set bounds to exact fit
set {yP, xP} to scale as list
set yP to yP as real
set xP to xP as real
if yP > xP then
set yP to ((yP + 0.5) div 0.1) / 10
set xP to yP
else
set xP to ((xP + 0.5) div 0.1) / 10
set yP to xP
end if
set scale to {yP, xP}
set bounds to centered
end if
end tell
end tell
end tell
---
With 'set bounds to centered' the image is centered in the box. No need
for trying to compute the offset values.
