Is there a simple way to make a background fit the entire screen?

I have an SKScene, where I use an SKSpriteNode as the background. While the work I do below to make it fit to scale isn't much, I wondered if Swift provided a method or property that would do the same?

From my GameScene

Code Block     override func didMove(to view: SKView){
        super.didMove(to: view)
        self.backgroundColor = .clear
        
        let ratio = self.size.height / background.size.height
        background.size.height *= ratio
        background.size.width *= ratio
        background.anchorPoint = CGPoint(x: 0.0, y: 0.0)
        background.zPosition = -1
        addChild(background)
        physicsWorld.contactDelegate = self
        self.isHidden = true

From my main ViewController, where I create the GameScene

Code Block             let scene = WheelScene(size: myView.frame.size)
            scene.anchorPoint = CGPoint(x: 0.0, y: 0.0)
            scene.backgroundColor   = .clear
            scene.scaleMode         = .aspectFit
            wheelScene = scene
            mainView = myView
            myView.presentScene(wheelScene)

Isn't it a problem of myView or mainView? I guess you are doing wrong setup for them.

I knew I should have cut that out, that's just some global variables I have to clean up. I have no problem, what I am doing works. I was just hoping there might be a method that handles all the logic for me.
