如何固定Vega-Lite表格行高，避免行间距随行数挤压拉伸？

问题描述 #

我尝试用以下Vega-Lite代码实现类表格的数据可视化布局，但当行数增多时文本会重叠，想知道能不能固定行高，避免行间距被挤压或拉伸，同时也想了解有没有更优的实现方案。

核心问题分析 #

当前实现用_source.document_id作为ordinal类型的y轴编码，Vega-Lite会自动根据图表高度均分行间距，当行数超过图表高度承载能力时就会出现文本重叠。要固定行高，必须手动控制每行的y坐标，摆脱自动均分逻辑。

关键改动说明 #

• 固定行高计算：通过transform生成行号，再计算每行的y坐标，行高设为30（可根据字体大小调整），彻底避免ordinal轴的自动均分问题。
• 动态适配高度：移除固定height，让图表高度根据内容自动适配；也可手动设置height为20 + 数据行数*30来固定整体高度。
• 表头位置优化：将表头y坐标从-20调整为-10，和内容行的间距更协调。
• 统一y编码：所有内容行的y值改用计算后的rowY字段，确保每行间距完全一致。

额外优化建议 #

• 添加表格边框：可新增rect标记层，通过计算每行的y范围绘制单元格背景，让表格样式更完整。
• 大数据量处理：如果数据行数较多，可配合分页功能或滚动容器使用，避免图表过高影响展示。
