Description

Hi devs,

I'm using plotly::plotlyOutput() within a shinyjqui::jqui_resizable() element in a shiny application, which works perfectly, by setting plotly::plotlyOutput(..., height = "100%"). However, all plots are initialized by default with a height of 450px (before any resizing). Is it possible to change this default, e.g., by use options(...)?

Thanks!

Best, Lennart

Research direction

Start at the plotly::plotlyOutput() entry point and trace where the initial 450px height is assigned. Determine how a user-selected default would be configured, then verify that plots initialize with the selected height while explicit height values still work.
