Change tinyMce editor's height dynamically

Question

I am using tinymce editor in my page. What I want to do is to change the height of the editor dynamically. I have created a function:

function setComposeTex

The following comes in from this other SO answer I posted:

None of the above were working for me in TinyMCE v4, so my solution was to calculate the height based on the toolbars/menu bar/status bar, and then set the height of the editor, taking those heights into consideration.

function resizeEditor(myHeight) {
    window.console.log('resizeEditor');
    myEditor = getEditor();
    if (myEditor) {
        try {
            if (!myHeight) {            
                var targetHeight = window.innerHeight; // Change this to the height of your wrapper element
                var mce_bars_height = 0;
                $('.mce-toolbar, .mce-statusbar, .mce-menubar').each(function(){
                    mce_bars_height += $(this).height();
                });
                window.console.log('mce bars height total: '+mce_bars_height);                          
                myHeight = targetHeight - mce_bars_height - 8;  // the extra 8 is for margin added between the toolbars
            }
            window.console.log('resizeEditor: ', myHeight);
            myEditor.theme.resizeTo('100%', myHeight);  // sets the dimensions of the editable area
        }
        catch (err) {
        }
    }
}

In my case, I wanted the editor window to match the width and height of the actual window, since the editor would come up in a popup. To detect changes and resize, I set this to a callback:

window.onresize = function() {
    resizeEditor();
}
