Expand output height to avoid clipping / scrollbars?

[khughitt]

Greetings!

I wanted to see if there is a way to expand the height of the output cells, either for all cells or for a specific cell, in order to display the entire output without scrollbars?

E.g. I have one cell which uses a for-loop to print a bunch of Seaborn plots. In the rendered output, only the first part of the first plot is shown, and the rest are clipped / you have to use a nested scrollbar to display them.

"Expand all cells" doesn't appear to help with this, and I could not find any other option to expand the output / not use scrollbars.

The closest discussion I could find relating to this is: Easier control of output height · Issue #3436 · marimo-team/marimo

But that is aimed at a somewhat different problem.

This seems like something very basic that I could be missing though, which Is why I thought to ask here rather than submit an issue.

If it is not implemented, some possible approaches:

• [] add option to expand all outputs to fit output height / avoid using scrollbars
• [] add option to expand a single cell's output to fit output height / avoid using scrollbars
• [] use window manager style "minimize" / "maximize" icons in top-right corner
• [] add drag handle to bottom border and allow user to manually expand the output to a custom height (good in some cases, but not for very long outputs)

Update (2025-04-27)

After a bit more experimentation, it seems like if a cell contains only a single evaluated expression, Marimo handles it differently, showing the figure above the cell code, and providing "fullscreen" and "collapse/expand" buttons near the top-right corner of the cell (visible upon mouse hover).

System:

• marimo 0.13.2
• firefox 137.0.2
