Format height for PerspectiveWidget

[dhirschfeld]

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to configure the height of the displayed PerspectiveWidget.

IIUC ipywidgets have a layout property which allows you to configure some basic css but Perspective Widget doesn't seem to support that. Is it possible to configure the height of the PerspectiveWidget?

I'll look into why the layout properties aren't being used by PerspectiveWidget - in the meantime you can use display and HTML:

from IPython import display, HTML
display(HTML("<style>perspective-viewer { height: 600px !important; }</style>"))

it's a little hacky but it's guaranteed to work.

Quick update on this - layout did not work because our Python widget did not inherit from DOMWidget. I've fixed this in #1466 and it should be in the next release.
