Finding aspect ratio of GUI node

I’m having a hard time figuring out the effective size or aspect ratio of a GUI node. The interaction of the scale and size values (which seem to default to 200x100) and the container they’re nested in make it hard to determine the correct aspect ratio I can use when creating a texture in Inkscape.
Is there a quick way to get an idea of the true dimensions of a node, short of taking a screenshot and checking in an editor? The actual size doesn’t matter, just the aspect ratio.

If you apply a texture to a node, it will be set to the dimensions of the bitmap. You can also set the node to any size by changing Size Mode to Manual.

There is also a Slice 9 method that’s handy for buttons and scaling objects whilst retaining the corner dimensions.

More detailed info in the documentation!
