Hello

I am trying out Google Charts for the first time.  
There is a rectangular container to the Chart and then the Chart  
itself inside.  
There is a lot of space wasted in some kind of padding within the  
actual chart and the container.

I tried playing around with width and height parameters still does not  
help.  
Can you someone advise please?

Please ask this question in Google’s forums, where it will be on topic.
