I suspect KeepInFrame is intended to be used in a flowable context where 
wrap is called. Since it's expected that it will never be split or 
wrapped twice the wrap is assumed to be called just the once and the 
calculations for width, height scaling are carried out there.

Logically we should probably allow for all flowables to be wrapped 
multiple times in different contexts, but pragmatically that hasn't been 
done. In the drawOn method no information is directly available as to 
the available space so it's hard to do the calculations there anyway.
