I have created a pie chart but like to make some changes to get the best appearance.

1. Is there anyting that I can do to make the label on the pie better uttelise the space on the chart, like using word wrap etc?

2. Can I get the actual height of the drawn pie to enable me to get rid of the white spaces?

Hello Daniel,

At this point the chart data labels do not support automatic wrapping, but you can manually split the longer texts to multiple lines. It is possible to split each label's text at a different position by applying individual data label styles.

You can also decrease the value of the ConnectorLength property so that the label connectors are shorter.

It is not possible to get the actual height of the pie, but it wouldn't be very helpful anyway.

If you look carefully to the attachment you will notice lot of white space that degrade the look and feel of the chart.

I would prefer if it was possible for the pie to better fill the space with the chart and labels. Is there anything that I can set or change to achieve this?

Maybe one of the right question to ask is how do I set the labels to wrap or be automatically shortened with trailing ellipses?

Can you please provide some sample code?

There is no built-in automatic text wrapping / clipping. For now the only option is to split the data label texts manually into several lines.
