Overwriting heigth and width values in concat operators

[ebocher]

Manage width/heigth with concatenation operators

It seems that vega doesn't owerwrite the width/heigth properties specificied in the concatenation element.

Bellow a spec to draw OSM tiles.

{    
  "height": 200,
  "width": 200,
  "layer": [
    {
      "data": {
        "sequence": {"start": 0, "stop": 4, "as": "a"},
        "name": "tile_list"
      },
      "mark": {
        "type": "image",
        "clip": true,
        "height": {"expr": "256"},
        "width": {"expr": "256"}
      },
      "encoding": {
        "url": {"field": "url", "type": "nominal"},
        "x": {"field": "x", "scale": null, "type": "quantitative"},
        "y": {"field": "y", "scale": null, "type": "quantitative"}
      },
      "transform": [
        {"calculate": "sequence(0, 4)", "as": "b"},
        {"flatten": ["b"]},
        {
          "calculate": "'https://tile.opentopomap.org/' + 17 + '/' + (datum.a + floor((invert('projection', [0, 0])[0] + 180) / 360 * pow(2, 17)) + pow(2, 17)) % pow(2, 17) + '/' + ((datum.b + floor((1 - log(tan(invert('projection', [0, 0])[1] * PI / 180) + 1 / cos(invert('projection', [0, 0])[1] * PI / 180)) / PI) / 2 * (pow(2, 17))))) + '.png'",
          "as": "url"
        },
        {
          "calculate": "(datum.a * 256  + round((floor((invert('projection', [0, 0])[0] + 180) / 360 * pow(2, 17)) - (invert('projection', [0, 0])[0] + 180) / 360 * pow(2, 17)) * 256)) + (256  / 2)",
          "as": "x"
        },
        {
          "calculate": "(datum.b * 256  + round((floor((1 - log(tan(invert('projection', [0, 0])[1] * PI / 180) + 1 / cos(invert('projection', [0, 0])[1] * PI / 180)) / PI) / 2 * (pow(2, 17)))-(1 - log(tan(invert('projection', [0, 0])[1] * PI / 180) + 1 / cos(invert('projection', [0, 0])[1] * PI / 180)) / PI) / 2 * (pow(2, 17))) * 256 )) + (256  / 2)",
          "as": "y"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "mark": {
        "type": "geoshape"
      },
      "projection": {
        "center": { "expr": "[-2.079943,47.654317]"},
        "rotate": {"expr": "[0, 0, 0]"},
        "scale": {"expr": "256 * pow(2, 17) / (2 * PI)"},
        "translate": {"expr": "[width / 2, height / 2]"},
        "type": "mercator"
      }
    }
  ]
}

It returns the expected OSM tiles.

But in the following spec the height and width values do not match the values specified in "layer"

Not sure if it's related to the same issue but combined a geoshape with the OSM tiles chart returns a blank chart.
