Description
Hi,
I would like to autoscale SVG graphics produced by a call to ggplotly in order to fit them into the parent CSS container in a R Markdown document, as described here. For this, it is necessary for the SVG element to have a viewBox attribute that describes the bounding box of the visible contents. Do you think it would be possible to extend your package to include this attribute?
Cheers,
Andrzej

Research direction
Start at the ggplotly SVG output path and inspect the generated SVG for the visible content bounds. Add a viewBox attribute that enables scaling in an R Markdown parent CSS container, then verify the resulting graphic scales correctly in an R Markdown document.
