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

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

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

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  amp  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  amp  height and prevent any axis labels or legends from being cropped

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
