# maptext_height var (atom)

Source: https://ref.dm-lang.org/atom/var/maptext_height
Added in BYOND 494.

### Default value
> 32 (depends on world.icon_size)

This is the height of the text shown in the maptext var. The default value depends on world.icon_size and world.map_format. In a topdown (default) or tiled map_format, the icon height is used. In other map views, tile "footprints" are square and height is irrelevant, so the default will be the icon width instead.)
