/window cannot be used to set the size of the bitmap (-f doesn't guarantee anything even for window area).
+
Note: a bitmap cannot be sized to less than the largest point that has been drawn on it (which can be reset with /clear). Once a size has been set, changing the window size will not resize it to less than the set size.

While /window or two /window can be used to set the bitmap correctly, /drawsize is better and more consistent.

This command was added after a bug report was [http://forums.mirc.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/260318/ made], revealing /drawrect is not drawing beyond the size of the window (it does not extend the bitmap to prevent too much memory usage with some failed parameter passed for coordinates).

/window can be used to set the size of the bitmap (-f) however /window also resize the window accordingly.
  
 
With /drawsize, you can extend the bitmap to make sure your draws are correctly made beyond the size of the window without having the size of the window (what's visible) to be the same (more or less, borders and visual effect put aside) as the size of the bitmap.
