Visualization: Column Chart
Overview
A column chart is a vertical bar chart rendered in the browser using SVG or VML, whichever is appropriate for the user's browser. Like all Google charts, column charts display tooltips when the user hovers over the data. For a horizontal version of this chart, see the bar chart.
A simple example

Coloring columns
Let's chart the densities of four precious metals:
class="framebox inherit-locale " src="https://google-developers.appspot.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/columnchart_caaf24d7fd178924f3b13cd8dfba356e.frame?hl=zh-cn" style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; overflow: auto; width: 924px; height: 400px;">Above, all colors are the default blue. That's because they're all part of the same series; if there were a second series, that would have been colored red. We can customize these colors with the style role:
class="framebox inherit-locale " src="https://google-developers.appspot.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/columnchart_c727b39487a430baa07c5b9281457cb8.frame?hl=zh-cn" style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; overflow: auto; width: 924px; height: 400px;">There are three different ways to choose the colors, and our data table showcases them all: RGB values, English color names, and a CSS-like declaration:
var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
['Element', 'Density', { role: 'style' }],
['Copper', 8.94, '#b87333'], // RGB value
['Silver', 10.49, 'silver'], // English color name
['Gold', 19.30, 'gold'],
['Platinum', 21.45, 'color: #e5e4e2' ], // CSS-style declaration
]);
Column styles
The style role lets your control several aspects of column appearance with CSS-like declarations:
-
color -
opacity -
fill-color -
fill-opacity -
stroke-color -
stroke-opacity -
stroke-width
We don't recommend that you mix styles too freely inside a chart—pick a style and stick with it—but to demonstrate all the style attributes, here's a sampler:
class="framebox inherit-locale " src="https://google-developers.appspot.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/columnchart_caee35bc3fef3d6c5f68efc8cf6afcf5.frame?hl=zh-cn" style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; overflow: auto; width: 924px; height: 400px;"> The first two columns each use a specific color (the first with an English name, the second with an RGB value). No opacity was chosen, so the default of 1.0 (fully opaque) is used; that's why the second column obscures the gridline behind it. In the third column, an opacity of 0.2 is used, revealing the gridline. In the fourth, three style attributes are used: stroke-color and stroke-width to draw the border, and fill-color to specify the color of the rectangle inside. The rightmost column additionally uses stroke-opacity and fill-opacity to choose opacities for the border and fill:
function drawChart() {
var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
['Year', 'Visitations', { role: 'style' } ],
['2010', 10, 'color: gray'],
['2010', 14, 'color: #76A7FA'],
['2020', 16, 'opacity: 0.2'],
['2040', 22, 'stroke-color: #703593; stroke-width: 4; fill-color: #C5A5CF'],
['2040', 28, 'stroke-color: #871B47; stroke-opacity: 0.6; stroke-width: 8; fill-color: #BC5679; fill-opacity: 0.2']
]);
Labeling columns
Charts have several kinds of labels, such as tick labels, legend labels, and labels in the tooltips. In this section, we'll see how to put labels inside (or near) the columns in a column chart.
Let's say we wanted to annotate each column with the appropriate chemical symbol. We can do that with the annotation role:
class="framebox inherit-locale " src="https://google-developers.appspot.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/columnchart_d9d2928f56a96c4a764d934d5e827f80.frame?hl=zh-cn" style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; overflow: auto; width: 924px; height: 400px;"> In our data table, we define a new column with { role: 'annotation' } to hold our column labels:
var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
['Element', 'Density', { role: 'style' }, { role: 'annotation' } ],
['Copper', 8.94, '#b87333', 'Cu' ],
['Silver', 10.49, 'silver', 'Ag' ],
['Gold', 19.30, 'gold', 'Au' ],
['Platinum', 21.45, 'color: #e5e4e2', 'Pt' ]
]);
While users can hover over the columns to see the data values, you might want to include them on the columns themselves:
class="framebox inherit-locale " src="https://google-developers.appspot.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/columnchart_8d60ece542456fdd6fa10ae2580f33d3.frame?hl=zh-cn" style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; overflow: auto; width: 924px; height: 400px;"> This is a little more complicated than it should be, because we create a DataView to specify the annotation for each column.
<script type="text/javascript">
google.load("visualization", "1", {packages:["corechart"]});
google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);
function drawChart() {
var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
["Element", "Density", { role: "style" } ],
["Copper", 8.94, "#b87333"],
["Silver", 10.49, "silver"],
["Gold", 19.30, "gold"],
["Platinum", 21.45, "color: #e5e4e2"]
]);
var view = new google.visualization.DataView(data);
view.setColumns([0, 1,
{ calc: "stringify",
sourceColumn: 1,
type: "string",
role: "annotation" },
2]);
var options = {
title: "Density of Precious Metals, in g/cm^3",
width: 600,
height: 400,
bar: {groupWidth: "95%"},
legend: { position: "none" },
};
var chart = new google.visualization.ColumnChart(document.getElementById("columnchart_values"));
chart.draw(view, options);
}
</script>
<div id="columnchart_values" style="width: 900px; height: 300px;"></div>
If we wanted to format the value differently, we could define a formatter and wrap it in a function like this:
function getValueAt(column, dataTable, row) {
return dataTable.getFormattedValue(row, column);
}
Then we could call it with calc: getValueAt.bind(undefined, 1).
If the label is too big to fit entirely inside the column, it's displayed outside:
class="framebox inherit-locale " src="https://google-developers.appspot.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/columnchart_367630bfc358fc535834090d8e205b97.frame?hl=zh-cn" style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; overflow: auto; width: 924px; height: 400px;">Stacked column charts
A stacked column chart is a column chart that places related values atop one another. It's typically used when a category naturally divides into components. For instance, consider some hypothetical book sales, divided by genre and compared across time:
class="framebox inherit-locale " src="https://google-developers.appspot.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/columnchart_72a59b7d7b838c1ac74974b5523dfb98.frame?hl=zh-cn" style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; overflow: auto; width: 924px; height: 400px;"> You create a stacked column chart by setting the isStacked option to true:
var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
['Genre', 'Fantasy & Sci Fi', 'Romance', 'Mystery/Crime', 'General',
'Western', 'Literature', { role: 'annotation' } ],
['2010', 10, 24, 20, 32, 18, 5, ''],
['2020', 16, 22, 23, 30, 16, 9, ''],
['2030', 28, 19, 29, 30, 12, 13, '']
]);
var options = {
width: 600,
height: 400,
legend: { position: 'top', maxLines: 3 },
bar: { groupWidth: '75%' },
isStacked: true,
};
Creating Material column charts
In 2014, Google announced guidelines intended to support a common look and feel across its properties and apps (such as Android apps) that run on Google platforms. We call this effort Material Design. We'll be providing "Material" versions of all our core charts; you're welcome to use them if you like how they look.
Creating a Material Column Chart is similar to creating what we'll now call a "Classic" Column Chart. You load the Google Visualization API (although with the 'bar' package instead of the 'corechart' package), define your datatable, and then create an object (but of classgoogle.charts.Bar instead of google.visualization.ColumnChart).
Since bar charts and column charts are essentially identical but for orientation, we call both Material Bar Charts, regardless of whether the bars are vertical (classically, a column chart) or horizontal (a bar chart). In Material, the only difference is in the bars option. When set to 'horizontal', the orientation will resemble the traditional Classic Bar Chart; otherwise, the bars will be vertical.
Material Column Charts have many small improvements over Classic Column Charts, including an improved color palette, rounded corners, clearer label formatting, tighter default spacing between series, softer gridlines and titles (and the addition of subtitles).
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
google.load("visualization", "1.1", {packages:["bar"]});
google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);
function drawChart() {
var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
['Year', 'Sales', 'Expenses', 'Profit'],
['2014', 1000, 400, 200],
['2015', 1170, 460, 250],
['2016', 660, 1120, 300],
['2017', 1030, 540, 350]
]);
var options = {
chart: {
title: 'Company Performance',
subtitle: 'Sales, Expenses, and Profit: 2014-2017',
}
};
var chart = new google.charts.Bar(document.getElementById('columnchart_material'));
chart.draw(data, options);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="columnchart_material" style="width: 900px; height: 500px;"></div>
</body>
</html>
The Material Charts are in beta. The appearance and interactivity are largely final, but the way options are declared is not. If you are converting a Classic Column Chart to a Material Column Chart, you'll want to replace this line:
chart.draw(data, options);
...with this:
chart.draw(data, google.charts.Column.convertOptions(options));
Dual-Y charts
Sometimes you'll want to display two series in a column chart, with two independent Y-axes: a left axis for one series, and a right axis for another:
class="framebox inherit-locale " src="https://google-developers.appspot.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/columnchart_71e6f5a1bbd579486afe79bea31c624f.frame?hl=zh-cn" style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; overflow: auto; width: 924px; height: 500px;">
Note that not only are our two y-axes labeled differently ("parsecs" versus "apparent magnitude") but they each have their own independent scales and gridlines. If you want to customize this behavior, use the vAxis.gridlines options.
In the code below, the axes and series options together specify the dual-Y appearance of the chart. The series option specifies which axis to use for each ('distance' and 'brightness'; they needn't have any relation to the column names in the datatable). The axes option then makes this chart a dual-Y chart, placing the 'distance' axis on the left and the 'brightness' axis on the right.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
google.load("visualization", "1.1", {packages:["bar"]});
google.setOnLoadCallback(drawStuff);
function drawStuff() {
var data = new google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
['Galaxy', 'Distance', 'Brightness'],
['Canis Major Dwarf', 8000, 23.3],
['Sagittarius Dwarf', 24000, 4.5],
['Ursa Major II Dwarf', 30000, 14.3],
['Lg. Magellanic Cloud', 50000, 0.9],
['Bootes I', 60000, 13.1]
]);
var options = {
width: 900,
chart: {
title: 'Nearby galaxies',
subtitle: 'distance on the left, brightness on the right'
},
series: {
0: { axis: 'distance' }, // Bind series 0 to an axis named 'distance'.
1: { axis: 'brightness' } // Bind series 1 to an axis named 'brightness'.
},
axes: {
y: {
distance: {label: 'parsecs'}, // Left y-axis.
brightness: {side: 'right', label: 'apparent magnitude'} // Right y-axis.
}
}
};
var chart = new google.charts.Bar(document.getElementById('dual_y_div'));
chart.draw(data, options);
};
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="dual_y_div" style="width: 900px; height: 500px;"></div>
</body>
</html>
Note: Dual-Y axes are available only for Material charts (i.e., those with package bar).
Loading
The google.load package name is "corechart".
google.load("visualization", "1", {packages: ["corechart"]});
For Material Column Charts, the google.load package name is "bar". (Not a typo: the Material Bar Chart handles both orientations.)
google.load("visualization", "1", {packages: ["bar"]});
The visualization's class name is google.visualization.ColumnChart.
var visualization = new google.visualization.ColumnChart(container);
For Material Column Charts, the visualization's class name is google.charts.Bar. (Not a typo: the Material Bar Chart handles both orientations.)
var chart = new google.charts.Bar(container);

|
| annotations.alwaysOutside | boolean | false | In Bar and Column charts, if set to true, draws all annotations outside of the Bar/Column. |
| annotations.boxStyle | object | null | For charts that support annotations, the annotations.boxStyle object controls the appearance of the boxes surrounding annotations: var options = { annotations: { boxStyle: { stroke: '#888', // Color of the box outline. strokeWidth: 1, // Thickness of the box outline. rx: 10, // x-radius of the corner curvature. ry: 10, // y-radius of the corner curvature. gradient: { // Attributes for linear gradient fill. color1: '#fbf6a7', // Start color for gradient. color2: '#33b679', // Finish color for gradient. x1: '0%', y1: '0%', // Where on the boundary to start and end the x2: '100%', y2: '100%', // color1/color2 gradient, relative to the // upper left corner of the boundary. useObjectBoundingBoxUnits: true // If true, the boundary for x1, y1, // x2, and y2 is the box. If false, // it's the entire chart. } } } };class="framebox inherit-locale " src="https://google-developers.appspot.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/columnchart_0e5dbb5525ed2403ed0b7cdec7ebda65.frame?hl=zh-cn" style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; overflow: auto; width: 523px; height: 150px;"> This option is currently supported for area, bar, column, combo, line, and scatter charts. It is not supported by the Annotation Chart. |
| annotations.highContrast | boolean | true | For charts that support annotations, the annotations.highContrast boolean lets you override Google Charts' choice of the annotation color. By default,annotations.highContrast is true, which causes Charts to select an annotation color with good contrast: light colors on dark backgrounds, and dark on light. If you set annotations.highContrast to false and don't specify your own annotation color, Google Charts will use the default series color for the annotation: class="framebox inherit-locale " src="https://google-developers.appspot.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/columnchart_5f727dc2c0f23ea2703ef7a2ba0f0239.frame?hl=zh-cn" style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; overflow: auto; width: 523px; height: 150px;"> |
| annotations.textStyle | object | null | For charts that support annotations, the annotations.textStyle object controls the appearance of the text of the annotation: var options = { annotations: { textStyle: { fontName: 'Times-Roman', fontSize: 18, bold: true, italic: true, color: '#871b47', // The color of the text. auraColor: '#d799ae', // The color of the text outline. opacity: 0.8 // The transparency of the text. } } };class="framebox inherit-locale " src="https://google-developers.appspot.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/columnchart_e2c514856282c544e559cce72a082cf9.frame?hl=zh-cn" style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; overflow: auto; width: 523px; height: 150px;"> This option is currently supported for area, bar, column, combo, line, and scatter charts. It is not supported by the Annotation Chart. |
| axisTitlesPosition | string | 'out' | Where to place the axis titles, compared to the chart area. Supported values:
|
| backgroundColor | string or object | 'white' | The background color for the main area of the chart. Can be either a simple HTML color string, for example: 'red' or '#00cc00', or an object with the following properties. |
| backgroundColor.stroke | string | '#666' | The color of the chart border, as an HTML color string. |
| backgroundColor.strokeWidth | number | 0 | The border width, in pixels. |
| backgroundColor.fill | string | 'white' | The chart fill color, as an HTML color string. |
| bar.groupWidth | number or string | The golden ratio, approximately '61.8%'. | The width of a group of bars, specified in either of these formats:
|
| bars | 'horizontal' or 'vertical' | 'vertical' | Whether the bars in a Material Bar Chart are vertical or horizontal. This option has no effect on Classic Bar Charts or Classic Column Charts. |
| chartArea | Object | null | An object with members to configure the placement and size of the chart area (where the chart itself is drawn, excluding axis and legends). Two formats are supported: a number, or a number followed by %. A simple number is a value in pixels; a number followed by % is a percentage. Example: chartArea:{left:20,top:0,width:'50%',height:'75%'} |
| chartArea.backgroundColor | string or object | 'white' | Chart area background color. When a string is used, it can be either a hex string (e.g., '#fdc') or an English color name. When an object is used, the following properties can be provided:
|
| chartArea.left | number or string | auto | How far to draw the chart from the left border. |
| chartArea.top | number or string | auto | How far to draw the chart from the top border. |
| chartArea.width | number or string | auto | Chart area width. |
| chartArea.height | number or string | auto | Chart area height. |
| chart.subtitle | string | null | For Material Charts, this option specifies the subtitle. Only Material Charts support subtitles. |
| chart.title | string | null | For Material Charts, this option specifies the title. |
| colors | Array of strings | default colors | The colors to use for the chart elements. An array of strings, where each element is an HTML color string, for example: colors:['red','#004411']. |
| dataOpacity | number | 1.0 | The transparency of data points, with 1.0 being completely opaque and 0.0 fully transparent. In scatter, histogram, bar, and column charts, this refers to the visible data: dots in the scatter chart and rectangles in the others. In charts whereselecting data creates a dot, such as the line and area charts, this refers to the circles that appear upon hover or selection. The combo chart exhibits both behaviors, and this option has no effect on other charts. (To change the opacity of a trendline, see trendline opacity.) |
| enableInteractivity | boolean | true | Whether the chart throws user-based events or reacts to user interaction. If false, the chart will not throw 'select' or other interaction-based events (but will throw ready or error events), and will not display hovertext or otherwise change depending on user input. |
| focusTarget | string | 'datum' | The type of the entity that receives focus on mouse hover. Also affects which entity is selected by mouse click, and which data table element is associated with events. Can be one of the following:
In focusTarget 'category' the tooltip displays all the category values. This may be useful for comparing values of different series. |
| fontSize | number | automatic | The default font size, in pixels, of all text in the chart. You can override this using properties for specific chart elements. |
| fontName | string | 'Arial' | The default font face for all text in the chart. You can override this using properties for specific chart elements. |
| forceIFrame | boolean | false | Draws the chart inside an inline frame. (Note that on IE8, this option is ignored; all IE8 charts are drawn in i-frames.) |
| hAxis | Object | null | An object with members to configure various horizontal axis elements. To specify properties of this object, you can use object literal notation, as shown here: {title: 'Hello', titleTextStyle: {color: '#FF0000'}} |
| hAxis.baseline | number | automatic | The baseline for the horizontal axis. This option is only supported for a |
| hAxis.baselineColor | number | 'black' | The color of the baseline for the horizontal axis. Can be any HTML color string, for example: 'red' or '#00cc00'. This option is only supported for a |
| hAxis.direction | 1 or -1 | 1 | The direction in which the values along the horizontal axis grow. Specify -1 to reverse the order of the values. |
| hAxis.format | string | auto | A format string for numeric or date axis labels. For number axis labels, this is a subset of the decimal formatting ICU pattern set. For instance, For date axis labels, this is a subset of the date formatting ICU pattern set. For instance, The actual formatting applied to the label is derived from the locale the API has been loaded with. For more details, see loading charts with a specific locale. This option is only supported for a |
| hAxis.gridlines | Object | null | An object with members to configure the gridlines on the horizontal axis. To specify properties of this object, you can use object literal notation, as shown here: {color: '#333', count: 4} This option is only supported for a |
| hAxis.gridlines.color | string | '#CCC' | The color of the horizontal gridlines inside the chart area. Specify a valid HTML color string. |
| hAxis.gridlines.count | number | 5 | The number of horizontal gridlines inside the chart area. Minimum value is 2. Specify -1 to automatically compute the number of gridlines. |
| hAxis.minorGridlines | Object | null | An object with members to configure the minor gridlines on the horizontal axis, similar to the hAxis.gridlines option. This option is only supported for a |
| hAxis.minorGridlines.color | string | A blend of the gridline and background colors | The color of the horizontal minor gridlines inside the chart area. Specify a valid HTML color string. |
| hAxis.minorGridlines.count | number | 0 | The number of horizontal minor gridlines between two regular gridlines. |
| hAxis.logScale | boolean | false | hAxis property that makes the horizontal axis a logarithmic scale (requires all values to be positive). Set to true for yes. This option is only supported for a |
| hAxis.textPosition | string | 'out' | Position of the horizontal axis text, relative to the chart area. Supported values: 'out', 'in', 'none'. |
| hAxis.textStyle | Object | {color: 'black', fontName: <global-font-name>, fontSize: <global-font-size>} | An object that specifies the horizontal axis text style. The object has this format: { color: <string>,
fontName: <string>,
fontSize: <number>,
bold: <boolean>,
italic: <boolean> }
The |
| hAxis.ticks | Array of elements | auto | Replaces the automatically generated X-axis ticks with the specified array. Each element of the array should be either a valid tick value (such as a number, date, datetime, or timeofday), or an object. If it's an object, it should have a Examples:
This option is only supported for a |
| hAxis.title | string | null | hAxis property that specifies the title of the horizontal axis. |
| hAxis.titleTextStyle | Object | {color: 'black', fontName: <global-font-name>, fontSize: <global-font-size>} | An object that specifies the horizontal axis title text style. The object has this format: { color: <string>,
fontName: <string>,
fontSize: <number>,
bold: <boolean>,
italic: <boolean> }
The |
| hAxis.allowContainerBoundaryTextCufoff | boolean | false | If false, will hide outermost labels rather than allow them to be cropped by the chart container. If true, will allow label cropping. This option is only supported for a |
| hAxis.slantedText | boolean | automatic | If true, draw the horizontal axis text at an angle, to help fit more text along the axis; if false, draw horizontal axis text upright. Default behavior is to slant text if it cannot all fit when drawn upright. Notice that this option is available only when thehAxis.textPosition is set to 'out' (which is the default). This option is only supported for a |
| hAxis.slantedTextAngle | number, 1—90 | 30 | The angle of the horizontal axis text, if it's drawn slanted. Ignored ifhAxis.slantedText is false, or is in auto mode, and the chart decided to draw the text horizontally. This option is only supported for a |
| hAxis.maxAlternation | number | 2 | Maximum number of levels of horizontal axis text. If axis text labels become too crowded, the server might shift neighboring labels up or down in order to fit labels closer together. This value specifies the most number of levels to use; the server can use fewer levels, if labels can fit without overlapping. This option is only supported for a |
| hAxis.maxTextLines | number | auto | Maximum number of lines allowed for the text labels. Labels can span multiple lines if they are too long, and the nuber of lines is, by default, limited by the height of the available space. This option is only supported for a |
| hAxis.minTextSpacing | number | The value ofhAxis.textStyle.fontSize | Minimum horizontal spacing, in pixels, allowed between two adjacent text labels. If the labels are spaced too densely, or they are too long, the spacing can drop below this threshold, and in this case one of the label-unclutter measures will be applied (e.g, truncating the lables or dropping some of them). This option is only supported for a |
| hAxis.showTextEvery | number | automatic | How many horizontal axis labels to show, where 1 means show every label, 2 means show every other label, and so on. Default is to try to show as many labels as possible without overlapping. This option is only supported for a |
| hAxis.maxValue | number | automatic | Moves the max value of the horizontal axis to the specified value; this will be rightward in most charts. Ignored if this is set to a value smaller than the maximum x-value of the data. hAxis.viewWindow.max overrides this property. This option is only supported for a |
| hAxis.minValue | number | automatic | Moves the min value of the horizontal axis to the specified value; this will be leftward in most charts. Ignored if this is set to a value greater than the minimum x-value of the data. hAxis.viewWindow.min overrides this property. This option is only supported for a |
| hAxis.viewWindowMode | string | Equivalent to 'pretty', buthaxis.viewWindow.min andhaxis.viewWindow.maxtake precedence if used. | Specifies how to scale the horizontal axis to render the values within the chart area. The following string values are supported:
This option is only supported for a |
| hAxis.viewWindow | Object | null | Specifies the cropping range of the horizontal axis. |
| hAxis.viewWindow.max | number | auto |

| isStacked | boolean | false | If set to true, stacks the elements in a series. Note: In Column, Area, andSteppedArea charts, Google Charts reverses the order of legend items to better correspond with the stacking of the series elements (E.g. series 0 will be the bottom-most legend item). This does not apply to Bar Charts. |
| legend | Object | null | An object with members to configure various aspects of the legend. To specify properties of this object, you can use object literal notation, as shown here: |

|
| legend.alignment | string | automatic | Alignment of the legend. Can be one of the following:
Start, center, and end are relative to the style -- vertical or horizontal -- of the legend. For example, in a 'right' legend, 'start' and 'end' are at the top and bottom, respectively; for a 'top' legend, 'start' and 'end' would be at the left and right of the area, respectively. The default value depends on the legend's position. For 'bottom' legends, the default is 'center'; other legends default to 'start'. |
| legend.textStyle | Object | {color: 'black', fontName: <global-font-name>, fontSize: <global-font-size>} | An object that specifies the legend text style. The object has this format: { color: <string>,
fontName: <string>,

| series | Array of objects, or object with nested objects | {} | An array of objects, each describing the format of the corresponding series in the chart. To use default values for a series, specify an empty object {}. If a series or a value is not specified, the global value will be used. Each object supports the following properties:
You can specify either an array of objects, each of which applies to the series in the order given, or you can specify an object where each child has a numeric key indicating which series it applies to. For example, the following two declarations are identical, and declare the first series as black and absent from the legend, and the fourth as red and absent from the legend: series: [{color: 'black', visibleInLegend: false}, {}, {},
{color: 'red', visibleInLegend: false}]
series: {0:{color: 'black', visibleInLegend: false},
3:{color: 'red', visibleInLegend: false}} |

|
| trendlines | Object | null | Displays trendlines on the charts that support them. By default, linear trendlines are used, but this can be customized with the
Trendlines are specified on a per-series basis, so most of the time your options will look like this: var options = {
trendlines: {
0: {
type: 'linear',
color: 'green',
lineWidth: 3,
opacity: 0.3,
showR2: true,

| vAxis.direction | 1 or -1 | 1 | The direction in which the values along the vertical axis grow. Specify -1 to reverse the order of the values. |
| vAxis.format | string | auto | A format string for numeric axis labels. This is a subset of the ICU pattern set. For instance, {format:'#,###%'} will display values "1,000%", "750%", and "50%" for values 10, 7.5, and 0.5. The actual formatting applied to the label is derived from the locale the API has been loaded with. For more details, see loading charts with a specific locale. |
| vAxis.gridlines | Object | null | An object with members to configure the gridlines on the vertical axis. To specify properties of this object, you can use object literal notation, as shown here: {color: '#333', count: 4} |
