fixing the pie chart size

[heena]

Hello all,

         I have a issue while creating a pie chart. whenever the length of the label of legend increases the size of the pie chart decreases to maintain the space between the pie chart and legend. how can i fix the size of  the pie chart so that it does not resize according to the data.

Unfortunately this is not possible, we will resize the legend to make sure its size is appropriate for its contents,this will in turn reduce the size available for the "plot area" of the chart.

If you can produce abbreviations or any other form of short string that represents the legend, you could try using smaller strings for the legend and then customizing the tooltips to show the "full" legend. 

Another possibility would be to hide the legend, decrease the size of its font, or move it to the side/bottom in case this allows you to better use the available space for your particular scenario (number of points, size of label strings, etc.)

with hiding the visibility of the legendbox also the resizing of the chart still takes place.
