vega-lite.json
height
The height of a visualization. __Default value:__ - If a view's [`autosize`](size.html#autosize) type is `"fit"` or its y-channel has a [continuous scale](scale.html#continuous), the height will be the value of [`config.view.height`](spec.html#config). - For y-axis with a band or point scale: if [`rangeStep`](scale.html#band) is a numeric value or unspecified, the height is [determined by the range step, paddings, and the cardinality of the field mapped to y-channel](scale.html#band). Otherwise, if the `rangeStep` is `null`, the height will be the value of [`config.view.height`](spec.html#config). - If no field is mapped to `y` channel, the `height` will be the value of `rangeStep`. __Note__: For plots with [`row` and `column` channels](encoding.html#facet), this represents the height of a single view. __See also:__ The documentation for [width and height](size.html) contains more examples.

width
The width of a visualization. __Default value:__ This will be determined by the following rules: - If a view's [`autosize`](size.html#autosize) type is `"fit"` or its x-channel has a [continuous scale](scale.html#continuous), the width will be the value of [`config.view.width`](spec.html#config). - For x-axis with a band or point scale: if [`rangeStep`](scale.html#band) is a numeric value or unspecified, the width is [determined by the range step, paddings, and the cardinality of the field mapped to x-channel](scale.html#band). Otherwise, if the `rangeStep` is `null`, the width will be the value of [`config.view.width`](spec.html#config). - If no field is mapped to `x` channel, the `width` will be the value of [`config.scale.textXRangeStep`](size.html#default-width-and-height) for `text` mark and the value of `rangeStep` for other marks. __Note:__ For plots with [`row` and `column` channels](encoding.html#facet), this represents the width of a single view. __See also:__ The documentation for [width and height](size.html) contains more examples.

format

vega-lite.json
parse
If set to auto (the default), perform automatic type inference to determine the desired data types. Alternatively, a parsing directive object can be provided for explicit data types. Each property of the object corresponds to a field name, and the value to the desired data type (one of `"number"`, `"boolean"` or `"date"`). For example, `"parse": {"modified_on": "date"}` parses the `modified_on` field in each input record a Date value. For `"date"`, we parse data based using Javascript's [`Date.parse()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/parse). For Specific date formats can be provided (e.g., `{foo: 'date:"%m%d%Y"'}`), using the [d3-time-format syntax](https://github.com/d3/d3-time-format#locale_format). UTC date format parsing is supported similarly (e.g., `{foo: 'utc:"%m%d%Y"'}`). See more about [UTC time](timeunit.html#utc)

height

Otherwise, if the `rangeStep` is `null`, the height will be the value of [`config.view.height`](spec.html#config). - If no field is mapped to `y` channel, the `height` will be the value of `rangeStep`. __Note__: For plots with [`row` and `column` channels](encoding.html#facet), this represents the height of a single view. __See also:__ The documentation for [width and height](size.html) contains more examples.
