# setHeight(_:)

Sets the absolute height (in points) of the object.

## Declaration

```swift
func setHeight(_ height: CGFloat)
```

## Parameters

- `height`: The new height of the object. Specifying a value of 0.0 causes the item to have no height.

## Discussion

Discussion You cannot use this method to alter the height of tables or the thickness of horizontal separator items. Changing the height of a WKInterfaceImage object causes the image’s content scaling mode to change to UIView.ContentMode.scaleToFill. Changes to the height of an object are animatable.
