The Size element sest the Frame(FrameBox()) size.
It does not set the GraphBuilderContainerBox()
Which is what I am guessing you expected the size to be set for.
That is the opposite of what I want -- I need the FrameBox() only to be the specified size. Here is some example code illustrating this. The Size( 500, 500 ) is fed to both, but clearly the FrameBox() size is very much not (500, 500).
As a matter of fact, it's not even the GraphBuilderContainerBox() that you show that is set to the given size -- you first must remove the LegendBox(), then the remaining (title / axes / axes headers) is set to the (500,500) size. It is just ridiculous!
There is literally no way to set the FrameBox() (as in, if you had this within an Outline Box( "", Graph Builder( ... ) ) and did Outline Box[Frame Box( 1 )] << Frame Size( 500, 500 )) BEFORE / DURING instantiation of the GraphBuilder() box. It can ONLY be done after the window and graph has been created.

SendToReport(
Dispatch(
{},
"Graph Builder",
FrameBox,
{Grid Line Order( 1 ), Reference Line Order( 2 )}
)
)
)
)
)What I need is for the area that has the chart (the FrameBox()) to be a given fixed size, independent of what size my axis are or how complicated and long the text is.
Any update here?
sounds like a candidate for
green: "Size"
blue: frame size
purple: plot size

SendToReport(

{Set Text( "my title\!nspans over 2 lines" )}
),
Dispatch( {}, {:height}, TextEditBox,
{Set Text( "very long Y axis title " ), Rotate Text( "Horizontal" )}
)
)
);,

)));
I also started with the hope that some combination of
Fit to Window( "Off" ),and
Size(...)might solve the problem.
But when I realized that in the Code of @ErraticAttack both functions are used my hope was gone.
In the example, the different X labels lead to completely different sizes of the graph.
As long as there is no rectangl around the whole graph (including the axes), nobody will notice, that both have the same size.
Same issue with different sizes of the Y axis:
