Aspect Ratio, Space and Width : Properties used to adjust the aspect ratio, space and width in most visualizations

# dataPointSize
Approximate pixel size for the data points in scatter plots, dotplots and boxplots. The size will be adjusted according to the dimensions of the graph. Boxplots and dotplots default to 15 (to match ggplot2 geom_point) unless set explicitly. Set to the string "auto" to size scatter points from the plot area, damped by the number of points (larger dots on sparse/large panels, smaller on dense ones)
