Other common uses are
Scaling (cover) - keep aspect but cover the whole area (with parts of
the picture sticking out of the viewport) - useful with a
non-intrusive background like a photo of fallen leaves or the like
Left, Right, TopLeft, BottomRight, ... - for side and corner decorations.

Does that c represent the width of the character "c"? What about
proportional fonts?
I think it is OK if the layout manager was in Lua if that makes
hacking on it easier but you still need the support functions for a
fully functional layout manager in C for that to work.
