{{DISPLAYTITLE:_HEIGHT}}
The [[_HEIGHT]] function returns the height of an image handle or current write page.


{{PageSyntax}}
:''result&'' = {{KW|_HEIGHT}}[({{Parameter|imageHandle&}})]


{{PageDescription}}
* If {{Parameter|imageHandle&}} is omitted, it's assumed to be the handle of the current write page.
* To get the width of the current program window use zero for the handle value: depth& = _HEIGHT(0)
* If the image specified by {{Parameter|imageHandle&}} is in text mode, the number of characters per column is returned.
* If the image specified by {{Parameter|imageHandle&}} is in graphics mode, the number of pixels per column is returned.
* If {{Parameter|imageHandle&}} is an invalid handle, then an [[ERROR Codes|invalid handle]] error will occur.
* The maximum pixel coordinate of a program [[SCREEN|screen]] is one less than what the function returns.


''Example:'' Displays the current program window area.

{{Cl|SCREEN}} 12
wide = {{Cl|_WIDTH (function)|_WIDTH}}
deep = {{Cl|_HEIGHT}}
