3D Pie charts are what I was working on and having trouble with.

Not sure what you mean by "the layout size" and I haven't had a minute to work more on this since the new version was released. > We will consider allowing the user to better control the layout. That would be cool. But as of my email, I'm still trying to figure out the layout rules. Part of the problem is that I find the terminology in the documentation confusing. For example, in the Chart Margins section it seems that what's labeled there as Image area is actually what's set by the chs parameter and the Chart area, including labels, is what's being calculated based on remaining apace after Chart margins and Legend area. It would be really nice to be able to simply specify the size of the Chart area and have the chart with labels sized / rendered within that. Barring that, my question was, what's the algorithm being used to do that sizing? Based on my 'playing around' on Live Charts, the key to getting a 3D pie to display well, with labels, is setting the margins correctly. Any info would be very much appreciated!
