The fix sized legend for piechart

[chechaquo]

Hello,

I have following, perhaps trivial question, but i couldn't find an answer

The legend of piechart is positioned on the left. Due to long keys the chart itself becomes small. Is it possible to fix the legend size?

Code: Select all

public class ChartTest {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
        DefaultPieDataset ds = new DefaultPieDataset();
        ds.setValue("very very very long name", 200);
        ds.setValue("just name",90);
        JFreeChart pieChart= ChartFactory.createPieChart("My Chart",  ds,  true, true, false);
        ChartFrame cf = new ChartFrame("Test", pieChart);
        cf.setSize(250, 300);
        LegendTitle title=pieChart.getLegend();
        title.setPosition(RectangleEdge.LEFT);
        pieChart.setBackgroundPaint(Color.white);
        PiePlot piePlot=(PiePlot)pieChart.getPlot();
        piePlot.setLabelGenerator(null);
        cf.setResizable(false);
        cf.setVisible(true);
    }
}

I'm thinking of inserting '\n' in the long keys but i doubt that this is good solution.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Forgive the obvious suggestions: move it to the top/bottom, make font size smaller. My only other suggestion is write a custom layout manager that never makes the legend more that x% of the available width.

Thanks for your reply, moving legend and making font size smaller won't work in my case (I have specific design )... Writing custom layout manager seems to be very time consuming task ... so there is no simple solution
