Daniel-

Thank you. That was it. I made the chart height 15px smaller than the chart.chartArea.height and that left a nice small white space border.

I guess none are so blind as they that cannot see. Like so many things in life, once you understand something it is obvious, but until then a mystery.

I was very puzzled why there were two height (and width) properties, never stopping to think that one was a chart option and the other a chartArea option. Once that became clear it is obvious how to use them.

As a newbie I suggest someone consider a small bit of explanatory text in the 'Using Google Charts" Chart Galleries help 'chartArea.height' and 'height' (also widths) area that says for example...



chartArea.height number or string auto Chart area height. See also 'height' option to adjust the chart size within the chart area.


That would make things a lot clearer for anyone trying to learn about the use of charting.

Hi Ken,

You also can adjust the height of the overall chart, separate from the 'chartArea'. If your div height is 350, this should be used to determine the default chart size, but I can't tell what else you are doing with your chart options without seeing the code. So try:

var options = {
  height: 350,
  chartArea: {
    height: 350
  }
}

    The Line Chart I have generated seems to have excessing white
    space bordering it.  I have been able to trim the top and left
    sides, but the bottom is excessive and although I have tried to
    change every chartArea option I can think of to try, I have not
    been successful.

    Here is an example, where the new Google Chart is displayed on a
    page with others (not yet converted).

    There is no html inserted spacing between the chart elements, so
    all the space is associated with the Google Chart itself.  Here is
    the page code...

    <body>
    <divid="chart_div"style="width:775px;height:350;"align:="left"></div>
    <imgsrc="logtemp/week.jpg"alt="The Week Temps"/><br/>
    <br/>
    <imgsrc="logtemp/month.jpg"alt="The Month Temps"/>
    </body>
    |

    And here is the displayed result...

    The red boxed area is all excessing white space that I would like
    to trim as much as possible.

    Is this possible?

    Thanks.
