    At the moment there is no way we can arrange the legends as per the space on our visualization. With the default options there is no way to word wrap the legend. We need to be able to increase the Legend width or wrap text the legend information without changing the width of the visualization

    It's 2022 and this obvious feature has still not been added. Pie charts are clunky when you can't see the legend or have to shrink it until its virtually unreadable. Stop focusing on new stuff and get these basic requirements sorted for the existing visuals.

    Keeping the legend at the bottom of the chart enables me to use the full width for the chart, rather than losing a lot to the legend when on the left or right, and if the legend values can be wrapped then I lose minimal vertical space for the chart and can see more without scrolling.
