Can we change the size (and font size) of a legend?

Yes please! There are multiple ways that legends could be made more functional. The ability to adjust the size & padding of the legend would be great. Word wrap would also do the trick. Both would be ideal though!

RE: Ability to adjust legend size

I have a pie chart where the legend labels are long and cut off. I can make the chart wider to get some more space for the labels, but this space is instead used to make more blank space around the chart area.

The request in some of the other comments to have a separate legend that could be individually resized would work for me. My problem could also be solved by either letting me set the legend size directly, or having control over the padding in the chart and giving the remaining space over to the legend.

RE: Ability to adjust legend size

Please add this functionality so you can move the legend separate from the visual. Thank you!

RE: Ability to adjust legend size

this is an absolute must!

We need to have the ability to Expand the Legend area independently of the chart area in order to display all Legend labels. Especially when exporting to powerpoint or printing a report, a visual with more labels than can fit will print with the little arrow. This makes these visuals useless as you can no longer identify which line belongs to which category.

RE: Ability to adjust legend size

It would be very useful to be able to show multiple rows in the legend.

RE: Ability to adjust legend size

This should be for everything, not just legend. Font size for axis, title, data points, and legend would be great. Another idea on this is to be able to scale the relative size of all texts.
