How can I set width to be "container" in config?

It seems to me I can only set width as "container" in the toplevel, but not in config.view

Another related question is, in the doc: https://altair-viz.github.io/user_guide/customization.html#defining-a-custom-theme

We can set "width" in config.view.

However, in vega-lite documentation: https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/docs/spec.html#config. There is no "width" attribute, the only thing is "continuousWidth" and "discreteWidth".

You can set 'container' at the top-level rather than inside the config.view key as per https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/docs/size.html#specifying-responsive-width-and-height.

You're right that the example in the altair docs is using an unsupported spec (although it still works), it should look like this (feel free to submit a PR to the docs):

def black_marks():
    return {
        'height': 200,
        'width': 200,
        'config': {
            'mark': {
                'color': 'black',
                'fill': 'black'
            }
        }
    }
