I am working with the latest version of the controls, using the HTMLChart for a Pie Chart and I cannot locate or use the old "DiameterScale" property anywhere - has this property been removed? Is there any way still to determine what area of the total chart is filled by the "pie"?

Hi Brian,
The property DiameterScale is not part of RadHtmlChart but RadChart. Actually RadHtmlChart is the new one(available since Q2 2012) and it is not based on RadChart's old technology but the latest web standards(SVG, CSS, SVG). To mention that one of its significant advantages is the rendering which is done entirely on the client side through JavaScript. That is why RadHtmlChart does not implement yet all the properties RadChart does.
Please find more information about the differences between both controls in this blog post as well as the new features in RadHtmlChart here.

So then, using the new RadHTMLChart there is currently no way to determine the size of the "pie" portion in relation to the overall chart area?

Hello Brian,
The HtmlChart does this calculation automatically depending on the presence of other elements (legend, title). Adding such a property is more likely to add a way to break the appearance of the control than to provide a helpful feature. Many of the dimensions and spaces in the HtmlChart are calculated automatically and this allows you to have charts that require very little configuration - you basically have only to add data and you are set.
You can ultimately control the size of the pie itself through the size of the chart. If you have few items placing the legend at the bottom or at the top will also provide more space for the actual pie. You could also disable the legend if your scenario allows for that. Hiding the series labels also gives you more space.

Hello Luis,
You can adjust the space between the plot area and the pie as shown in this article - http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/htmlchart/troubleshooting/common-issues#plotarea-is-shrunk-by-the-legend--plotarea-dimensions-depend-on-the-legend-size
Regarding the legend you can either configure a particular alignment and orientation or create a custom one as shown in the HtmlChart - Conditional Item Colorization demo.
