I'm having issues with visualizations auto scaling in a dashboard when using Vega visualizations.
The issue occurs when using multiple the multi column functionality in Vega. The output of the Vega script is 2 plots but when I try to view the visualization on the dashboard only the first plot is shown immediately with the other having to be scrolled to. I'm looking to have all the plots show without having to scroll through them. Thanks

Thanks for providing a full spec with sample data, it was easy to reproduce your use case.
What I recommend is that you follow [this Vega-Lite doc](https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/docs/size.html#width-and-height-of-multi-view-displays) to set an absolute width for the columns. You can't set a responsive width when using facets. I've never tried using responsiveness in Vega (with more access to the signals), so this answer is for Vega-Lite only.

Yeah I think I got it to work using absolute column widths in Vega lite using facets. For the data I intend to be utilizing I really don't know how many columns it'll require so I'll look into using Vega and post here if I find anything useful. Thanks again.
Vega lite script for reference that did the trick with absolute column widths:
```auto
{
"$schema": "https://vega.github.io/schema/vega-lite/v4.json",
"data": {
"values": [
{
"key" : "224",
"doc_count" : 1,
"location" : {
"doc_count_error_upper_bound" : 0,
"sum_other_doc_count" : 0,
"buckets" : [
{
"key" : "NY",
"doc_count" : 1
}
]
}
},
{
"key" : "225",
"doc_count" : 2,
"location" : {
"doc_count_error_upper_bound" : 0,
"sum_other_doc_count" : 0,
"buckets" : [
{
"key" : "NY",
"doc_count" : 1
},
{
"key" : "Germany",
"doc_count" : 1
}
]
}
}
]
},
"transform": [
{"flatten": ["location.buckets"],"as": ["test"]}
],
"facet":{
"column":{"field":"test.key"}
},
"spec":{
"width":300,
"height":600,
"mark": "bar",
"encoding": {
"x": {
"field": "key",
"type": "nominal",
"title": "Target ID"
},
"y": {
"aggregate": "count",
"type": "quantitative",
"title": "Count",
"field": "test.doc_count"
},
"color": {
"field": "key",
"type": "nominal",
"title":"type"
}
}
}
}
