Glad you found your solution!

I mostly use CairoMakie for vector graphics, so the actual resolution doesn’t matter to me much, just the relative sizing of everything.

Relatedly, I noticed this morning that 7/20 posts on the main page referenced Makie in the title. Congrats! It appears (to me at least) that adoption is increasing.

But I also imagine that means developer time is stretched. I would be willing to help work on a solution (for my issue… which I also just saw was brought up in [No docs for figure attributes in Makie](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/no-docs-for-figure-attributes-in-makie/66683), but I don’t know the code base (or development roadmap) or really how I would get started. There is no point in proposing a solution wildly incompatible with the Makie internals. What is the best way to contribute to designing a solution?
