How to set Google Charts legend width in JavaScript?

Question

I am generating this Google Line Chart using the Google JS API. As you can see, the labels are very narrow. How do I make it so that the whole label text is visible?

Answer 1

Here are some samples based on the google code playground line charts. Adjusting the chartArea width option gives more space for labels:

new google.visualization.LineChart(document.getElementById('visualization')).
    draw(data, {curveType: "function",
                width: 500, height: 400,
                vAxis: {maxValue: 10},
                chartArea: {width: '50%'}}
        );

If it's an option, you could also position the labels beneath the chart, which gives considerably more space:

new google.visualization.LineChart(document.getElementById('visualization')).
    draw(data, {curveType: "function",
                width: 500, height: 400,
                vAxis: {maxValue: 10},
                legend: 'bottom'}
        );
