Hi guys,
need your advice. I'm working on project which is going to have a
dashboard using Google Visualizations API. It should be a highly
customizable functionality with user enjoying a lot of freedom with
choosing what data he wants to visualize.

We stuck on problem with long labels. Many labels in our
visualizations are going to be considerably long (50 symbols and
more). On many visualizations these labels get obscured. If we allow
visualization to choose font size automatically the labels can get
really small or don't appear at all; if we set a specific font size
the labels do not fit and get cut. We truncate labels which are more
than 20 characters long, but there's no way to show full labels in
tooltip, only the same truncated ones. In any case, it looks horrible.

We thought we could solve most of such problems by allowing user to
view a bigger version of the chart, but the problem remains even on
big ones.

For example:

http://i47.tinypic.com/r74tcj.png
http://i45.tinypic.com/a24474.png

On the first picture the legend fits (almost) by choosing proper
visualization size and font size, but look how much white space
remains - it could be much more compact, but we were not able to do
so.

Any solutions how to handle this problem?
