Synopsis Define the minimal size of a figure.

Function Fproperty size(num h, num v)

Description Define the minimal size of a figure by setting hsize to h and vsize to v.

Note that:

• size(hv) is equivalent to hsize(hv), vsize(hv).
• size(h, v) is equivalent to hsize(h), vsize(v).
• width is a synonym for hsize.
• height is a synonym for vsize.

Examples By default, the following box

b1 = box(size(200,100), fillColor("red"));
render(b1);

will be displayed with the given minimal sizes:



By default all figures are resizable and will occupy all available space as determined by

• the size of the parent figure.
• the size of the window in which the figure is displayed.

If we enlarge the window in which b1 is displayed to, say, 400, 200, we get:

b1 = box(size(200,100), fillColor("red"));
render(b1);

Resizing can be turned off by setting resizable to false.
