How to set the default row and column height in openpyxl?

Question

I would like to change the row and column height using Openpyxl. I can change the specific row and height like this:

import openpyxl

wb = openpyxl.Workbook()
ws = wb.active
ws.row_dimensions[1].height = 10

But I want to change the default height and width of rows and column so that I don't have to do this for each row and each column.

Is it possible to do this?

According to this piece of Microsoft documentation, you can have 1,048,576 rows and 16,384 columns. I searched in openpyxl to find a way to set default column width but could not find a way, even though this is possible in Excel. I guess the openpyxl does not provide an interface to set this.

You could create a ticket here to request such a feature. However you can also just set the maximum of columns yourself:

for i in range(1, 16384):
    worksheet.column_dimensions[get_column_letter(i)].width = 1.89

You can do the same thing for the height.
