Hi Ian,

The "Fit content" button basically sets the width of
the selected object to its formattedWidth (or the
height to the formattedHeight).
Here's how to resize a field width and height to fit
the content :
--
  set the width of field "foobar" to \
      the formattedWidth of field "foobar" 
  set the height of field "foobar" to \
      the formattedHeight of field "foobar" 
--

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
