Description
"I want to include some sketches in a blog-like article via the embed feature, so I am dealing with iframes. I am having trouble to automatically get the height of my sketch, as this is of course a cross-origin scenario, so I cannot read the canvas' height via JS.
"Is this something that could/would be solved by the API? As in: I would be able to access the sketch height via the API? Or are there even any other solutions for that, that I am missing?"
