Height and Width
Introduction
Polygons can be any shape, so their width and height values cannot be explicitly set. Instead, a Polygon's width and height values are determined by their points.
Width and Height from Points
A Polygon's effective width and height is determined by its points. The furthest-right point determines the polygon's width and the furthest down point determines the polygon's height.
For example, a square Polygon with the furthest points at 128,128 has a width of 128 and a height of 128.
A Polygon's height can be used to affect parents, siblings, and children depending on the other instances' Width Units, Height Units, and stacking values.
For example, we can add a rectangle as a child of a ColoredRectangle to see how its points affect the size of the polygon.
We can see similar behavior if we place the Polygon in a stacking parent.
A Polygon's height and width are measured from a Polygon's top left corner to the furthest down right point. Points which have a negative value do not affect a Polygon's effective height, so moving points above or to the left of the origin will not affect the layout of any object which depends on the Polygon's size.
For example, if we move Polygon points in a stack up or to the left, this does not shift any of the Polygon's siblings.
