Up until a couple months ago, if I changed my wallpaper/background image, I could choose between tile, zoom, centre, scale, fill or span. These options no longer appear in GUI for changing the background image.
I am using Ubuntu 17.10.

sudo apt install gnome-tweak-tool
Then launch Tweaks and go to Desktop section. You'll get options to adjust background and lock screen images.
For Ubuntu 18.04 see this: Desktop section of gnome-tweak-tool missing lock screen options.
