→ Region

Sets the desired width and height of a Region, relative to its own effective scaling.

Region:SetWidth(width)
Region:SetHeight(height)
Region:SetSize(width, height)

Arguments

width 

Number - The desired height of a frame, taking into account its scaling

height 

Number - The desired width ofa frame, taking into account its scaling

Example

myAddonOptionsParent = myAddonOptions:GetParent();
myAddonOptions:SetHeight(myAddonOptionsParent:GetHeight() / 2);

Result

The frame named 'myAddonOptions' would be set to half the height of its parent frame.

Notes

• These functions are subordinate and complimentary to Region:SetPoint(...) that is used to define one or more anchor points for a region
  • If the left and right edges of the region are defined by anchor points, then setting width in this manner has no effect
  • If the bottom and top edges of the region are defined by anchor points, then setting height in this manner has no effect
  • If insufficient points have been set to define the region's shape, then setting width and/or height in this manner can complete the region
• The actual dimentions normally depends on the region's effective scale, which is the product of its own scale and that of its parents (if any)

Patch changes

• Patch 1.11.0 / API (2006-06-19): Consolidated to Region.
  
• Patch 1.10.0 / API (2006-03-28): All Frames, Textures and FontStrings now have SetWidth() and SetHeight()
