[[File:SFesWiki.PNG|1065px|thumb|left|''An example of size function. (A) A size pair <math>(M,\varphi:M\to\mathbb{R})</math>, where <math>M</math> is the blue curve and <math>\varphi:M\to \mathbb{R}</math> is the height function. (B) The set <math>\{p\in M:\varphi(p)\le b\}</math> is depicted in green. (C) The set of points at which the [[measuring function]] <math>\varphi</math> takes a value smaller than or equal to <math>a</math>, that is, <math>\{p\in M:\varphi(p)\le a\}</math>, is depicted in red. (D) Two connected component of the set <math>\{p\in M:\varphi(p)\le b\}</math> contain at least one point in <math>\{p\in M:\varphi(p)\le a\}</math>, that is, at least one point where the [[measuring function]] <math>\varphi</math> takes a value smaller than or equal to <math>a</math>. (E) The value of the size function <math>\ell_{(M,\varphi)}</math> in the point <math>(a,b)</math> is equal to <math>2</math>.'']]
