Not finding Windows Photo Viewer sufficient enough, I'm coding my own image viewer.

I'll be adding buttons which will perform the following functions:


actual size (no zoom)
fit screen (fit the greater side (w or h) inside screen)
fill screen (fit the lesser side (w or h) inside screen)
full screen


I need icon designs for these buttons. Full Screen icons are common and usually similar to this:

What I'm wondering is what kind of design can be used to represent other zoom modes: actual size, fit screen, and fill screen?

Photoshop has these buttons, but they have texts inside of them. I rather use icons.



Do you know any software that uses icons for these modes? If there are not any common/formal icon designs for these, what are your suggestions?

I've decided to make my own, and I'll use them until I can find something better.



Also, if anyone is interested in the icons, I can share them.

Adobe Acrobat has a good solution I like with icons that are easy to understand, and when you hover over them, there is a text that clearly states what it does. This allows the text to be longer than on a button.



Small tip: I noticed that the stroke width in your example is quite thin. Such low contrast can make it hard for some to see what it is, or distinguish from related icons.
