                        Padding = new Padding()
                        {
                            top = 50,
                            left = 50,
                            right = 50,
                            bottom = 50
                        }
                    },

Additional context

Thank you for the issue. We should definitely add that.

I'll take a look at your PR when I get time. Since I'm in the final phase of releasing 2.0, this might be released in 2.1 or so.

For now the workaround should be fine but if you want a C#-only solution, you can subclass your PieOptions and add a property named Layout. You can make it of type object and then assign an annonymous object or go the typed way (which results in more code obviously). Both will be serialized and should yield the correct result (untested).
