dimensions of a uipanel seem strange

Im trying to match an image to the size of a uipanel. so for starters, I thought getting the width and height of the uipanel would be useful. surely the width and height are wrong, as its at least twice as high as it is wide??

Hi Jason,

this is normal because your panel unit is in characters

if you switch to pixel, then your width will be smaller than the height.

Whats the difference between pixles and points for unit?

[Orion]

pixel depends on your resolution and points is a length mesure.
