It's called 'window-size-change-functions'.

Why "Such window resize"?  We talk about reformatting buffer contents
when a window gets resized for some reason.  We do not want to resize
the window when reformatting a man page because we know the length of
Man lines beforehand.

This would be probably about fitting a window to the image it
displays.  But why do we have to display the image first and then
recalculate its size?  Don't we know the image size in advance?
