Looking for a word that can represent position or size or both

I am working on a program to create layouts.
I used the words PLACE and SIZE (I use caps cause they are constants, represented like that in the code).
PLACE was responsible for the x and y position.
SIZE was responsible for the width and height.
Later on I removed SIZE, and now only PLACE is used.
Therefor PLACE could be more seen as PLACING.
Yet I am not happy with that.
For example if you have a slider. Then there is the bar and the thumb.
The bar has to be placed, but for the thumb I only need to know the width and height cause the position of the thumb is decided by the scroll position.
I could use POSITION and SIZE, but I was wondering if there is any other word.
So basically i'm looking for a word that can both represent POSITION, and SIZE or either one of them.
Is there such a word, or something that comes close?
