If you have long names on a bar chart Y-Axis they get truncated. This is a problem if you have ones that start with something similar. Could we have a word wrap option on the format menu that takes advantage of the vertical space so the whole label can be shown.

Definitely needed! My Leadership loves the visualization but needs a magnifying glass to see the values.

It's currently very difficult to read certain treemap details due to the tiny font size. Formatting options would be great! I would use treemap more often.

this seems like an obvious addition, surprised it's not already been implemented

...just so that you can increase the size of the visualisation and the text not get lost because it's so small.
