R3GUI - How to set the size of an 'area'

Question

I've tried:

hgroup [label "Note"    64 AFV_Note:    area 100x50]

That produces the correct width but the height is still too tall.

I also tried:

hgroup [label "Note"    64 AFV_Note:    area options [init-size: 100x50]]

That results in an error; probably not an option for 'area'.

Yes, I too was waiting for RED. But when 6.0 came out with no Android nor mySQL, I thought I would continue to work with R3 and port my code when RED is there. — GordR, May 29 '16 at 01:35

Does this help at all?

chat-area: area "" 600x90 options [min-hint: 750x50 detab: true]

Thanks for the link, it got me trying a bunch of different combos but nothing I've tried makes the height less. With the 'options' it seems to ignore the first pair of numbers. I also used init-size of 200x50 and it made the area a bit wider but no less tall. It seems there is hard coded a limit for the height. I'll have a look to see if I can figure out why. – GordR May 29 '16 at 01:54
