Image scaling in Info viewer

I happened to include a screenshot of an Emacs session in a *.info
file and viewed the info using C-u C-h i.  The screenshot seemed
truncated.  (But) Turning on the horizontal scroll bar told me that
the image was only partially displayed and not cropped.  So...

Shouldn't Emacs autoscale the image to fit in to the buffer...WDYT.
The link below (which talks about image scaling) mostly talks about
points and inches (which seem like measurements targetted at paper
medium)

What do you mean by "the buffer" here?

It would be good to have the possibility of autoscaling, IMO,
and even autoscaling of one sort or another by default.

It might be better to (by default) autoscale an image to fit
the return value of one of the `window*pixel-width' functions,
rather than the width of the buffer text.  That would mean
that widening or narrowing the window would zoom the image
accordingly.

But it would also be good for this to be controlled by users
(e.g., by option or on the fly somehow).  You might sometimes
want to zoom into the text and image without also widening
the window, etc.
