 | `height`      | Number        | Sets the view height in pixels. See [Vega docs](https://vega.github.io/vega/docs/api/view/#view_height) for details. Note that Vega-Lite overrides this option. |
 | `padding`     | Number / Object | Sets the view padding in pixels. See [Vega docs](https://vega.github.io/vega/docs/api/view/#view_padding) for details. |
 | `actions`     | Boolean / Object | Determines if action links ("Export as PNG/SVG", "View Source", "View Vega" (only for Vega-Lite), "Open in Vega Editor") are included with the embedded view. If the value is `true`, all action links will be shown and none if the value is `false`.  This property can take a key-value mapping object that maps keys (`export`, `source`, `compiled`, `editor`) to boolean values for determining if each action link should be shown.  By default, `export`, `source`, and `editor` are true and `compiled` is false. These defaults can be overridden: for example, if `actions` is `{export: false, source: true}`, the embedded visualization will have two links – "View Source" and "Open in Vega Editor".  The `export` property can take a key-value mapping object that maps keys (svg, png) to boolean values for determining if each export action link should be shown. By default, `svg` and `png` are true. |
-| `scaleFactor` | Number        | The number by which to multiply the width and height (default `1`) of an exported PNG or SVG image. |
+| `scaleFactor` | Number / Object | _Number_: The number by which to multiply the width and height (default `1`) of an exported PNG or SVG image. <br> _Object_: The different multipliers for each format (`{ svg: <Number>, png: <Number> }`). If one of the formats is omitted, the default value is used. |
 | `editorUrl`    | String   | The URL at which to open embedded Vega specs in a Vega editor. Defaults to `"http://vega.github.io/editor/"`. Internally, Vega-Embed uses [HTML5 postMessage](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/postMessage) to pass the specification information to the editor. |
 | `sourceHeader` | String   | HTML to inject into the `head` tag of the page generated by the "View Source" and "View Vega" action link. For example, this can be used to add code for [syntax highlighting](https://highlightjs.org/). |
 | `sourceFooter` | String   | HTML to inject into the end of the page generated by the "View Source" and "View Vega" action link. The text will be added immediately before the closing `body` tag. |
