I am also interested in responsive/dynamic plot dimensions. I've noticed plaid-plot extends Coordinates mixin which provides support for resizing the plot. However, the area helper only supports fixed height/width - which are used by various scales.
I've implemented the plot-dimension component which yields the dynamic height/width to the area helper (using the resize mixin). I'd like to get your opinion on the best way to provide support for responsive plot dimensions.

Hey @xomaczar sorry been flat out with real work all week. So what I was thinking here for resizing was implementing a keyword, like auto for width or height which will use the width of the parent, as well as respond to resize events. I'd also like to implement the margin convention from above.

Yeah that what I was thinking - we need to add another component that provides its height/width to the area helper in order to keep plot's innerHeight responsive. I'll try to make a PR with an initial implementation and we can go from there.

Just heard your podcast with Taras - are you thinking about pivoting this library.
