I’m unsure what vscode does to the plot size, if the plot size is \> window size. `Gadfly.set_default_plot_size` definitely works e.g. in Jupyter, or when saving the figure. You might be able to get [this suggestion](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/can-i-choose-display-software/29510/3) to work in vscode, but I’ve not tested it in vscode (you might have to `popdisplay()` first, which would move Gadfly’s display to the top of the display stack).
