 ::::{note}
-Autosize in Vega-Lite has [several limitations](https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/docs/size.html#limitations) which can affect the height and width of your visualization, but these limitations do not exist in Vega. If you need full control, convert your spec to Vega using the [browser console](#vega-browser-debugging-console) `VEGA_DEBUG.vega_spec` output. To disable these warnings, you can [add extra options to your spec](#vega-additional-configuration-options).

-#### Browser debugging console [vega-browser-debugging-console]
-
-[preview] Use browser debugging tools (for example, F12 or Ctrl+Shift+J in Chrome) to inspect the `VEGA_DEBUG` variable:
-
-* `view` — Access to the Vega View object. See [Vega Debugging Guide](https://vega.github.io/vega/docs/api/debugging/) on how to inspect data and signals at runtime. For Vega-Lite, `VEGA_DEBUG.view.data('source_0')` gets the pre-transformed data, and `VEGA_DEBUG.view.data('data_0')` gets the encoded data. For Vega, it uses the data name as defined in your Vega spec.
-* `vega_spec` — Vega JSON graph specification after some modifications by {{kib}}. In case of Vega-Lite, this is the output of the Vega-Lite compiler.
-* `vegalite_spec` — If this is a Vega-Lite graph, JSON specification of the graph before Vega-Lite compilation.

 #### (Vega only) Expression functions which can update the time range and dashboard filters [vega-expression-functions]
 
 {{kib}} has extended the Vega expression language with these functions. These functions will trigger new data to be fetched, which by default will reset Vega signals. To keep signal values set `restoreSignalValuesOnRefresh: true` in the Vega config.
