Labelling inside the slices could do a better job of fitting more text. But you're always going to have slices that are too narrow. Labelling outside the pies uses up a vast amount of screen space and is unsightly; with lots of segments it doesn't work well either. Another solution might be to include the % values in the colour key, instead of labelling. I'll class this as an idea, so you and others can comment and vote.

Any development on this would be really good.

The category labels are shown outside the pie anyway, so adding the %age value along with the category value would be useful. For almost all cases, the %age shown would be much smaller in size than the category values.

Alpha partners, please try the new Pie view in 2.8 with improved labelling.

Hi guys
Is it possible to have the labels (category names) of pie charts appearing as a legend on the side rather than bottom? this could help when views are small. See example in the attached image mock up.

Thanks!
