Interpolating in Google chart

I have the following code:
<script type="text/javascript">
// Load the Visualization API and the piechart package.
google.load('visualization', '1', {'packages':['corechart']});
// Set a callback to run when the Google Visualization API is loaded.
google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);
function drawChart() {
// Create our data table out of JSON data loaded from server.
// var data = new google.visualization.DataTable('<>');
var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([['Generation', 'Descendants'],[0,300], [85,300],[125,0] ]);
var options = {
title: 'Derating chart',
// Draw a trendline for data series 0.
lineWidth: 2,
hAxis: {title: 'Temperature [°C]', titleTextStyle: {color: 'black'}, logScale: false},
vAxis: {
title: "Irms [A]",
maxValue:8
},
pointSize:5
};
// Instantiate and draw our chart, passing in some options.
// Do not forget to check your div ID
var chart = new google.visualization.ScatterChart(document.getElementById('chart_div'));
chart.draw(data, options);
}
</script>
It's quite simple, but I have the following problem:
- In my chart I have 3 points, is it possible to interpolate the values between that points? I need to display the values between them when you put the mouse over the line

There should be an option for this... but checking forums and documentation have found none. Closest to this is using a trendline, but values don´t match your line. So your only way is doing something manually. Here is a workaround I made using jquery :
//you need to have in options tooltip:{isHtml:true} for this to work
google.visualization.events.addListener(chart, 'ready', function(){
$('#chart_div svg path').mousemove(function(e){
$('.google-visualization-tooltip').remove(); // remove previous tooltips
var x=e.offsetX; // get x coordinate
var y=e.offsetY; //get y coordinate
var xValue= Math.round(chart.getChartLayoutInterface().getHAxisValue(x)); // get chart x value at coordinate
var yValue=Math.round( chart.getChartLayoutInterface().getVAxisValue(y)); // get chart y value at coordinate
// create tooltip
var tootlip = $('<div class= "google-visualization-tooltip"><ul class="google-visualization-tooltip-item-list"><li class="google-visualization-tooltip-item"><span >X : '+xValue+'</span></li><li class="google-visualization-tooltip-item"><span>Y : '+yValue+'</span></li></ul></div>');
tootlip.css({position:'absolute', left:(x+20)+'px', top:(y-100)+'px', width:'100px', height:'70px'}) // set tooltip position
$('#chart_div').append(tootlip); // add tooltip to chart
})
$('#chart_div svg path').mouseout(function(e){
$('.google-visualization-tooltip').remove();
})
})

Note: without the mouseout it works better, but tooltip stays until next mouseover

Google chart is not taking full width while jquery show and hide

I am making a google chart whith show and hide functionality.Means chart will be hidden on the page load and when user clicks a button chart will be made visible.
My code
<script type="text/javascript">
google.load("visualization", "1", { packages: ["corechart"] });
google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);
function drawChart() {
var items = $(".label1").text();
var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
<%= chartItems %>
]);
var options = {
title: 'Poll Results'
};
var chart = new google.visualization.PieChart(document.getElementById('chart_div'));
chart.draw(data, options);
}
</script>
<div id="chart_div" style="display:none; width:800px;height:500px;"></div>
My problem is that when user clicks on the button and chart is visible its not taking the full width and height(800x500).rather its taking an unknown dimension(400x200).
Note: when the chart is made visible in the page load itself, It works correctly.
Code is same change in HTML like this
<div id="chart_div" style=" width:800px;height:500px;"></div>

You can do as marios suggested and set dimensions inside that chart's options, but that won't fix all of the problems that come along with drawing a chart inside a hidden div. The Visualization APIs dimensional measurements don't work well inside hidden divs, so elements get positioned in the wrong place and have the wrong size in some browsers. You need to unhide the div immediately prior to drawing the chart, and you can hide it again when the chart is done drawing. Here's example code that does this:
var container = document.getElementById('chart_div');
container.style.display = 'block';
var chart = new google.visualization.PieChart(container);
google.visualization.events.addListener(chart, 'ready', function () {
container.style.display = 'none';
});
chart.draw(data, options);

Use chartArea:{} to set width & height
function drawChart() {
var items = $(".label1").text();
var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
<%= chartItems %>
]);
var options = {
title: 'Poll Results',
chartArea: {
width: 800,
height: 500
}
};
var chart = new google.visualization.PieChart(document.getElementById('chart_div'));
chart.draw(data, options);
}

I confirm that this is a bug. It work if the div is hidden "visibility:hidden;"
It does not work if the CSS shows "display:none"

There is an option to ask for specific width and height the google chart api https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/customizing_charts?hl=es.

Directly give width in chart option.
For eg:
options='{
"width": "800"
}'

line chart issue

I have made the line chart given above. The problem is that I can't make that red line stop at the current hour. I want to be drawn only when the value is updated. I tried not defining the value, but it gives error in that case.
Here's a link!
I have used the following code:
<html>
<head>
<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"https://www.google.com/jsapi\"></script>
<script type=\"text/javascript\">
google.load(\"visualization\", \"1\", {packages:[\"corechart\"]});
google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);
function drawChart() {
var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
['Hour', 'Renewals Yesterday', 'Renewals Today']
$ren_graph
]);
var options = {
title: 'Renewals Cumulative Comparison Graph'
};
var chart = new google.visualization.LineChart(document.getElementById('chart_div'));
chart.draw(data, options);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id=\"chart_div\" style=\"width: 1200px; height: 300px;\"></div>
</body>
</html>

To have a "blank" value, you need to do two things.
First you need to set the value of the "blank" items to null
Second you need to have interpolateNulls in your options as false (this is the default behavior).
You can read more about interpolateNulls here:
Whether to guess the value of missing points. If true, it will guess the value of any missing data based on neighboring points. If false, it will leave a break in the line at the unknown point.

Flot - plotting chart with time not working

The following code doesn't plot a chart with Flot - it just becomes an empty chart with the x axis at 00:00 and the y axis from -1 to 1:
<div id='chart' style='height:200px; width: 300px'></div>
<script>
drawChart();
function drawChart() {
var d1 = [[1360652400000, 22.5],[1360662400000, 24.4]];
$.plot($('#chart'), d1, {xaxis: {mode: 'time'}});
}
</script>

You're missing the set of array brackets that represent the fact that it's the data series 1.
Use this instead:
function drawChart() {
var d1 = [[1360652400000, 22.5],[1360662400000, 24.4]];
$.plot($('#chart'), [d1], {xaxis: {mode: 'time'}});
}
And it should work fine.
JSFiddle Here
Ignore the code at the top of the JavaScript example, it's just the jquery.flot.time.js which I couldn't find a CDN for (but which is needed to use the mode: 'time')

Remove padding or margins from Google Charts

// Load the Visualization API and the piechart package.
google.load('visualization', '1.0', {'packages':['corechart']});
// Set a callback to run when the Google Visualization API is loaded.
google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);
// Callback that creates and populates a data table,
// instantiates the pie chart, passes in the data and
// draws it.
function drawChart() {
// Create the data table.
var data = new google.visualization.DataTable();
data.addColumn('string', 'Topping');
data.addColumn('number', 'Slices');
var myData = {
'Mushrooms': 3,
'Onions': 1,
'Olives': 1,
'Zucchini': 1,
'Pepperoni': 2
};
var rows = [];
for (element in myData) {
rows.push([element + " (" + myData[element] + ")", myData[element]])
}
data.addRows(rows);
// Set chart options
var options = {'title':'How Much Pizza I Ate Last Night',
'width':450,
'height':300};
// Instantiate and draw our chart, passing in some options.
var chart = new google.visualization.PieChart(document.getElementById('chart_div'));
chart.draw(data, options);
}
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<div id="chart_div"></div>
Example fiddle
How do I remove padding or margins in this example?

By adding and tuning some configuration options listed in the API documentation, you can create a lot of different styles. For instance, here is a version that removes most of the extra blank space by setting the chartArea.width to 100% and chartArea.height to 80% and moving the legend.position to bottom:
// Set chart options
var options = {'title': 'How Much Pizza I Ate Last Night',
'width': 350,
'height': 400,
'chartArea': {'width': '100%', 'height': '80%'},
'legend': {'position': 'bottom'}
};
If you want to tune it more, try changing these values or using other properties from the link above.

I am quite late but any user searching for this can get help from it. Inside the options you can pass a new parameter called chartArea.
var options = {
chartArea:{left:10,top:20,width:"100%",height:"100%"}
};
Left and top options will define the amount of padding from left and top. Hope this will help.

I arrived here like most people with this same issue, and left shocked that none of the answer even remotely worked.
For anyone interested, here is the actual solution:
... //rest of options
width: '100%',
height: '350',
chartArea:{
left:5,
top: 20,
width: '100%',
height: '350',
}
... //rest of options
The key here has nothing to do with the "left" or "top" values. But rather that the:
Dimensions of both the chart and chart-area are SET and set to the SAME VALUE
As an amendment to my answer. The above will indeed solve the "excessive" padding/margin/whitespace problem. However, if you wish to include axes labels and/or a legend you will need to reduce the height & width of the chart area so something slightly below the outer width/height. This will "tell" the chart API that there is sufficient room to display these properties. Otherwise it will happily exclude them.

It's missing in the docs (I'm using version 43), but you can actually use the right and bottom property of the chart area:
var options = {
chartArea:{
left:10,
right:10, // !!! works !!!
bottom:20, // !!! works !!!
top:20,
width:"100%",
height:"100%"
}
};
So it's possible to use full responsive width & height and prevent any axis labels or legends from being cropped.

There's a theme available specifically for this
options: {
theme: 'maximized'
}
from the Google chart docs:
Currently only one theme is available:
'maximized' - Maximizes the area of the chart, and draws the legend and all of the labels inside the chart area. Sets the following options:
chartArea: {width: '100%', height: '100%'},
legend: {position: 'in'},
titlePosition: 'in', axisTitlesPosition: 'in',
hAxis: {textPosition: 'in'}, vAxis: {textPosition: 'in'}

There is this possibility like Aman Virk mentioned:
var options = {
chartArea:{left:10,top:20,width:"100%",height:"100%"}
};
But keep in mind that the padding and margin aren't there to bother you.
If you have the possibility to switch between different types of charts like a ColumnChart and the one with vertical columns then you need some margin for displaying the labels of those lines.
If you take away that margin then you will end up showing only a part of the labels or no labels at all.
So if you just have one chart type then you can change the margin and padding like Arman said. But if it's possible to switch don't change them.
