Tree map formatting question

Does anyone know how to fix the tree map to show the entire category label?  All of mine are too long and are being shortened with ... at the end of an abbreviated word.  Both making the font smaller and making the visual larger are not options.

Thanks in advance!

The format for Treemap is very limited.  Due to your constraints, I don't think there is a valid solution so far.  The only thing I can think of is to turn on the 'Tooltip' in the format. So when you hover the mouse to the long string, the complete string will show.

 

Another workaround is you give a short name for each category and put the short name in the 'group' field but put the full name in the 'Tooltips' field.  So you can get ride of the ellipse in the visual and the full name can be seen when you hover the mouse on top of that particular area.

 

Hope it helps.
