Assigning dimensions of a box to a length register.
Commands to assist the reuse of boxes (set up by \sbox or by the lrbox environment); the \settobox... commands behave similarly to the \settowidth (etc.) commands. For example:
\newsavebox{\mybox}
\newlength{\mylength}
\sbox{\mybox}{Hello World}
\settoboxwidth{\mylength}{\mybox}
