Make legend fitting

I've been trying to get a legend (alongside a pie chart) completely visible,
but can't seem to get it to work. Does the size of the legend come hand in
hand with the size of the plotting area? How can I individually set the size
of the legend?
Thanks in advance!Legend, chart, point labels, ... everything is rendered inside the chart
control on your report. So the size of the plot area does influence the size
of the legend. The chart is automatically rendered smaller if the legend is
larger and vice versa.
Getting the layout of the rendered report right is a bit of a hassle, I know.
I don't know of a way to specify the size of the legend or the chart
separately. All I found was that you can reposition the legend, and specify
its layout: row, column, or table (on the Legend tab of the Chart Properties
dialog box). That usually works for me.
My 2c.
