What is the feature ?
If I wanted to plot something like, change of prices over every day for an entire year on a line chart, I have no idea how large the chart would be to reasonably fit it without tiny text. I'm using the SVG backend and as it is right now, it stays the same size even if I have hundreds of data points. It would be nice to not specify the ultimate size of the chart and have an option to let the backend draw the chart as large as it needs to. Maybe there should be an api to set the spacing between x and y axis elements.
Why this feature is useful and how people would use the feature ?
I think this is important for charts that can be very long, especially when it comes to time series data. Time series data can go on for years with any amounts of granularity in the data.
I don't know if this is a reasonable request and if the backends can accomplish this, but it would be nice to have.
