No, it's NOT a parameter. There is NO setting anywhere that tells you Zoom to 
Fit was ever used. In contrast, Automatically Resize *is* a parameter; it's a 
setting that tells the view to keep zoomed-to-fit (the word "keep" is key, it 
says it is in some kind of semi-permanent state). Zoom to Fit is a *one-time* 
action that changes the scale factor once in some specified way. After that the 
only state information it has is the scale factor. The fact that it fits at 
that point is not a state parameter, it's just a coincidence (you could have 
come there by choosing Automatically Resize twice, or using Zoom In, and there 
would be no telling which way you got there). Which should be obvious once you 
resize the window: the *scale factor* will remain the same, while the fact that 
it fits won't, so the first is a state parameter, the second is a coincidence.
