Type Number Object DisplayObject Library display.* Revision Release 2022.3683 Keywords object, height, size See also object.contentHeight object.width
Retrieve or change the height of a display object. For text objects, this property can be used to get (but not set) the height.
For images, the returned value is the original bitmap height, including any transparent area.
This value is unaffected by object:scale() or object.yScale. Likewise, the value is not affected by object rotation.

local rect2 = display.newRect( 100, 100, 50, 50 )
