I’m using `Bonito.Grid` with Makie plots. I find that while `Grid` works generally as advertised, the Makie plots seem quite stubborn about their figure size, and do not generally “take the space available for them”, but rather seem to have a fixed size in pixel.

Eg. if I have

```julia
    PCard(p; kwargs...) = Card(p; padding="0px", margin="0px", kwargs...)
    Row(
        PCard(fig1, width="10%"),
        PCard(fig2, width="20%"),
        Col(slider, width="70%"))

```

Then the slider behaves as expected (when it has space), but `fig1` / `fig2` have a fixed size in pixel, even if I did not specify it in `Figure()`. Is there any way to make a `Figure` with a height that is 30% of the space?

There is `WGLMakie.activate!(resize_to=:parent)`.  
You can also set it per figure with:  
`WithConfig(fig; resize_to=:parent)`
