Voila: How to set a specific width and height for the output section ?

[pingme998]

Is there any way to modify the output section to specify height and width and make the page shorter.

In my web application with voila, more than 100 lines of logs are shown as output, printing that output might make the vertical display longer because it depends on the number of output lines. Is any way to give a layout ,a certain height and width of the output section and make it auto scroll.

Please reply as soon as possible, I've been searching for this all over the web and haven't found any solution to my problem.

If you use ipywidgets at all, you could use the Tab widget and set the height to some short measurement. Then show output within that widget - that will give you a scroll bar.

Note - this is a messy example but should give you a path forward.

I have a long dataframe that I am showing in the Tab widget - note the scrollbar on the right:

import ipywidgets as widgets
from ipywidgets import interact
from IPython.display import display

tab = widgets.Tab()
some_output = widgets.Output()
some_output.layout.height = '200px'
tab_contents = ['Overview']
children = [some_output]
tab.children = children
children = [some_output]

for idx, each in enumerate(tab_contents):
    tab.set_title(idx, each)

with some_output:
    display(agg)

tab

Here is what it looks like in voila:

Thank you for replying
I tested it and lowered the output layout height. 😊

Is there any way to autoscroll output?

About the autoscroll output - I just looked and I don't see an obvious way to do it, but if you could capture/set the scroll position then you could set it with the Play widget to iterate through the scroll steps.

Again - not sure if the scroll position is exposed anywhere, so far I have not seen it in any of the methods I have looked through.
