Increase size of pie chart within control?

Is there a way to increase the size of a pie chart within its control?
I have a limited amount of space in which to display the chart, so the
overall size of the control is restricted. But within it there's quite a lot
of "wasted" white space and I would like to make the pie itself larger and
more legible. Can do, or not?
Many thanks

In design mode, double-click on the chart within the control to select it
for editing. Then use the sizing handles to resize the chart area to the
size of the control; this does not have to be square. Click on the plot
area to select it (within the chart), and use its sizing handles to resize
it within the chart area; you can make it almost as big as the smallest
dimension of the chart area (since it must remain square). Note that if you
have titles/sector labels/legend/... these will get pushed away/squashed as
you resize the plot area; you may need to move and resize them also.

HTH,

You should be able to double-click the control while in the design view of
the report. Then select the chart and drag a handle to resize.
