Hi,

Is there a way to determine the type of width/height that has been set for a node? For instance, how can I differentiate if a width was defined using setWidth, setWidthPercent, or setWidthAuto?

A potential use case for this would be determining the smallest size of a node based on its content, where the workflow might look something like this:

Save the node's current size type and values.
Set width/height to auto.
Calculate and store the resulting dimensions.
Restore the initial size type and values.

If such an API doesn’t exist, could you clarify what the default size type is for each axis of a node?

Thank you!

I apologize, according to the documentation, the default type is set to auto. However, it would be beneficial to have an API that exposes this information to avoid the need for manually keeping track of it ourselves.

Which language is this for? APIs like getWidth() should return a structure with both a value and unit. "auto" is, maybe unintuitively, considered its own unit.

C++ and omg! I had seen that, but I misread it as 'uint' and assumed it was an unsigned integer, possibly for internal calculations. My bad! And thank you!
