3D Pie charts are what I was working on and having trouble with.  I'm
planning to start using the bar charts next.

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.

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!

Best regards,
Bill
