ADD the ability to handle long labels and titles in RadHtmlChart
LineBreak is not supported by SVG (more on that - http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/text.html#Introduction) and RadHtmlChart uses SVG to render in modern browsers. Add the ability to handle long label text in SVG as well. Currently long strings are getting clipped. 

For the time being the labels can be manually split in separate text elements. For example:
		<script>
			function pageLoad() {
				wrapLabels();
			}
			function wrapLabels() {
				//Find all text elements on the page
				var textElements = document.getElementsByTagName("text");
				//Iterate through the text elements
				for (var i = 0; i < textElements.length; i++) {
					var currTextEl = textElements[i];
					//Set the desired string/symbol that represents the line break
					var lineBreakSymbol = "@LineBreak@";
					if (currTextEl.textContent.indexOf(lineBreakSymbol) != -1) {
						var lines = currTextEl.textContent.split(lineBreakSymbol);
						//Adjust the x and y coordinates for the new text element from the old one
						var textAlignCoefficient = 7;
						var x = currTextEl.attributes.x.textContent * 1 + lines[1].length * textAlignCoefficient;
						var y = currTextEl.attributes.y.textContent * 1 + 20;
						//Obtain the same style for the new text element from the old one
						var style = currTextEl.attributes.style.textContent;
						//Add the new SVG text element
						addSVGTextElement(currTextEl, x, y, style, lines[1]);
						//Adjust the text and the position for the old text element
						currTextEl.textContent = lines[0];
						currTextEl.attributes.x.textContent = currTextEl.attributes.x.textContent * 1 + lines[1].length * textAlignCoefficient;
					}
				}
			}
			function addSVGTextElement(placeHolder, x, y, style, text) {
				var newText = document.createElementNS("http://www.w3.org/2000/svg", "text");

				newText.setAttributeNS(null, "x", x);
				newText.setAttributeNS(null, "y", y);
				newText.setAttributeNS(null, "style", style);

				var textNode = document.createTextNode(text);
				newText.appendChild(textNode);
				placeHolder.parentNode.insertBefore(newText, placeHolder);
			}
		</script>

Adding a line break character ("\n") is the only supported option at the moment.
The other idea I can offer is to increase the chart height so there is more room for a large title.
A third option you can consider is adding an external HTML element outside of the chart that will hold the desired title (e.g., with a CSS3 rotation transform so it is vertical) and align it next to the chart.

Do we have any recent fix to wrap/stop truncation or we have to use \n only ?

How would I accomplish this if I am passing in the text from a sql query? Adding \n or \\n to my text causes the chart to not render

Hi Matt,  when you use the escaping backslash symbol in the code behind you must use another backslash symbol before it - the first one escapes the second one on the server, so the one that remains escapes the subsequent symbol on the client-side. More information is available in the http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/htmlchart-troubleshooting-escaping-special-symbols.html help article.

Hi Guys, the feature will be implemented in Q3 2014 and not in Q2 2014 SP1 as stated earlier. Please excuse us for the misleading information.

The feature will be completed for Q2 2014 SP1. The characters used for the line breaks are "\n". You can see an example in the KendoUI charting widget http://trykendoui.telerik.com/OQiC
