Geert, I was beginning to understand this point as well. Not that it makes sense in any way. Why would a user choose to define an image along with its accompanying text box by pixel? Further: the setting is "Plot width" --and not "Width of pie and accompanying text box" or something equally d

Your screenshot doesn't show this, but did you report also display a legend ? I believe the legend and chart together are fitted into the dimensions you set. If the text in the legend varies from report to report, that my explain why the charts themselves vary as well. Geert Op dinsdag 13 augu

I'm pretty sure that this code isn't making sizing decisions based on readability-- at least not in my experience.  It is perfectly happy to cram huge amounts of data into tiny on screen areas... Percentages default to 100%, but remember previously stored values.  On Tue, Aug 13, 2019 at

I could see how more actual slices (regardless of how many accounts were chosen) would maybe trigger a larger size than a really small one specified for readability. But still, that should be only a default behavior and should not override a specified size. I think yes, the percentage is based

I will try using percentages, although why a percentage (based off what? Window dimensions?) would be more reliable is beyond my ability to comprehend.  As for number of slices, they all are set to the same value; it's just that the number of matching accounts is limited.  Again, why that would

I could understand why a chart with more slices might default to a larger size, but it appears the bottom two charts both have 3 slices, yet are different sizes. However, since they are set to all be the same size, they should all be the same size. What happens if you use the percentage option

Hello, The attached screen shot shows three iterations of a standard Piechart. Each has its own set of accounts and slices, but each is set to plot its chart to the same 485 by 240 dimensions--and yet, each one is clearly a different size! While the first is an Expense piechart, I believe that
