I have never seen “length” in this context before. Usually, you would use “width” for horizontal and “height” for vertical sizes. Does “length” just mean
max(width, length)
?I find
length
also rather strange, why notheight
andwidth
...?But when thinking twice about it, I think you are right with your assumption.
