Resize ggplot based custom visual

Hello,

 

I built a custom visual using ggplot in R, following the instructions from here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/visuals/funnel-plot-from-r The visual shows up on PowerBI but is extremely big. When I resize the visual, the visual gets cut off - it does not become smaller to fit the space that is available. 

What am i doing wrong?

 

I am using ggplot on R 4.x, and PowerBI desktop Version: 2.85.681.0 64-bit (September 2020)

I found a solution to this. In the src folder you will find the visual.ts file, open it and in the constructor comment out :

//this.imageElement.className = "rcv_autoScaleImage";

 

and change onResizing to look like this:

    public onResizing(finalViewport: IViewport😞 void {
        this.imageDiv.style.height = finalViewport.height + "px";
        this.imageDiv.style.width = finalViewport.width + "px";
        this.imageElement.style.height = finalViewport.height + "px";
        this.imageElement.style.width = finalViewport.width + "px";
    }
 
Because it is actually outputting an image and CSS is not good so we have to change it. Now my R visual is perfect again!

I have the exact same problem here. When the script is run directly on the PowerBI desktop then it works. But when I pack it with pbiviz then it is not showing properly. Hopefully, someone will answer this soon. Thanks
