Make it possible to change the position of the slider from within altair/vega-lite

[hadjipantelis]

What is your suggestion?

Make it possible to change the position of the slider programmatically from within altair (e.g. "top", "bottom", "left", "right"). Currently, it is always at the bottom of the page as here: https://altair-viz.github.io/gallery/us_population_over_time.html with no way of moving it aside editting the CSS directly.

Have you considered any alternative solutions?

I have seen vega/altair#1575, but that doesn't work if one wants to integrate this in Streamlit or Gradio.

Thanks for the suggestion, I think this would be useful as well. However, I believe it can't be implemented easily directly in altair in a robust manner, so I have transferred this issue to the Vega-Lite repo instead. Once it is implemented in Vega-Lite, it would be possible to use it from Altair as well.

Makes sense, thank you.
