Proportion the measure of y-axis items in timeline chart #77

Open cncoleman opened 8 years ago

Now we have a max height set and the y-axis scales to fit that height. Let's instead set the default height of one item to 4 x the bar width. If we have too many items per year, then we cut that to 3x, 2x, 1.

Is the underlying idea here to get rid of the y-axis elasticity, so that the axis remains fixed and when filters are applied the bars always become shorter? I think generally we should take up available vertical space for the un-filtered case, but getting rid of elasticity could definitely be better than the current approach.
