If you want to change the size of the text in the legend, than
-scale()- should be inside the -legend()- option:
sysuse auto, clear
graph pie, over(rep78) legend(size(*.5))
Having said that, you probably should not use a pie chart at all: A pie
chart encodes information in angles and surface areas, we humans find
decoding that much harder than decoding information from distances, so
a simple bar chart would be preferable.
