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.

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.
