When I enter that code, I get a graphic that's bigger than the notebook  
window.

If I increase the window size by dragging the bottom-right corner, the  
graphic grows faster than the window. If I increase magnification, the  
graphic grows faster than the window.

The same end result occurs if I change window size or magnification, then  
reevaluate the command.

So, when documentation says "fill out the enclosing region", it's (a)  
leaving "enclosing region" undefined and (b) leaving true behavior  
undocumented.
