I have a pie chart (see this thread for how I'm implementing it http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/thread/b311D-bcdmbm.aspx). Anyway, I want to set the TOTAL size of the image to something like 600x400 but have the pie chart a little smaller because I want to show the legend without having the legend superimpose over the chart.
I have no idea how to accomplish something like this, everytime I try to resize the chart (using RadChart.Width = Unit.Pixel(600); and RadChart.Height = Unit.Pixel(400); it automatically scales the chart with it (as well as all the labels and stuff).
Can I manually set the chart and label sizes and then introduce my legend so I know what the heck I'm looking at?

Ok... I figured it out. So I set:
RadChart1.Width = Unit.Pixel(600);
RadChart1.Height = Unit.Pixel(400);
// later on
s0.Appearance.DiameterScale = .60; // 60 %
s0.Appearance.CenterXOffset = -50; // 50 pixels, leave room for the legend
s0.PlotArea.Appearance.Dimensions.Margins.Left = 10; // more room for chart and legend
s0.Appearance.LegendDisplayMode = ChartSeriesLegendDisplayMode.ItemLabels;
Now it works great! Additionally, doing it this way I don't have to have the HTTPHandler in my web.config (nice for DNN, that'd have been one more thing to remember when updating my DNN installation).
