display_length

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 not height and width...?

But when thinking twice about it, I think you are right with your assumption.
