I'd vote for supporting the legend.position feature, it's the only thing holding us back from not using material charts (we use the legend at the bottom almost exclusively).
hotear commentedon Mar 16, 2016
I would also like to see the legend.position feature implemented next.
jimhorng commentedon Mar 19, 2016
vote for minValue, and lineWidth
rdnt commentedon Apr 15, 2016
Would love to see minValue and maxValue implemented, I have to register a bar with full height for the CPU usage chart to stay with 100 at max. The chart is being updater every 1s so the max value changes if all cores are below a certain threshold, which is irritating.

Is there a place to track material updates? Will this issue get updated on new releases? Will there be a separate set of documentation for them? I can't even find a definitive list of material-available charts to try out. They look so much nicer!
kejriwalrahul commentedon Jun 8, 2016
hAxis.textColor is also not working
BobHarper1 commentedon Jun 23, 2016
Second (or third) getting legend.position top/bottom functioning - webpages have limited width but not limited height!
jjwwkk300 commentedon Jun 29, 2016
I want animation for Material Chart.
how can i use animaion for Metrial Chart ?
change the classic chart? Is this the only way?
relief-melone commentedon Jun 29, 2016
Trendlines would be awesome. Material charts are looking awesome but I won't be able to implement them without the trendlines :(
BobHarper1 commentedon Jul 6, 2016
Are stacked material bar/column charts possible? I have tried (unsuccessfully) with
var chart = new google.charts.Bar(document.getElementById('chart'));chart.draw(data, {isStacked: true})also
var chart = new google.charts.Bar(document.getElementById('chart'));chart.draw(data, {chart: {isStacked: true}})nbering commentedon Jul 6, 2016
@BobHarper1 I'm pretty sure that changed to just
There's also a helper function on the material charts for converting the classic options structure to the new structure.
Angular Google Chart is using the old loader so the API version is a bit out of date, but I have a little codepen demo I wrote that shows the output of the conversion in a little interactive editor.

Ok, I. Using angular material .... but need to make a decision on direction regarding charts. So question , is it’s Google’s intention to work this issue and / or bring google charts up to date with angular material ?? Or maybe is there alternative strategy for Charts in google web apps??
Lavhe commentedon Feb 10, 2020
In 2020 there is still no focusTarget 😢
timfogarty1549 commentedon Feb 21, 2020
no logScale either
malodev commentedon Mar 26, 2020
no trendlines 😢
mrbrianevans commentedon May 11, 2020
Please add the legend position option to make it mobile friendly
hectorcho commentedon Jun 9, 2020
Are there Type Definitions for Google Material Charts? (i.e. google.charts.Line())? Thanks.
hellocaio commentedon Jul 17, 2020
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
fedes1987 commentedon Oct 2, 2020
In 2020, +1 for curveType

2021 ... 5 years later ... tumbleweed ...

Probably not worth waiting for the feature you miss to be implemented, but rather switch to another charting library. Google Chart API was in the phase of migration from old API to new API and I had a difficulty hitting contradictory or not relevant advises when searching for a help for a particular problem.
I have made my choice for https://www.highcharts.com/demo which is well documented and feature rich.
pdfabbro commentedon May 7, 2021
Ya I switched to plotly a while ago
mrbrianevans commentedon May 7, 2021
Considering that Google uses charts in many of their products such as Trends, I think this library is still a good choice, as long as you stay away from Material Charts.

5 years later and no annotations inside bar charts. Sad times 😞
Fernandomr88 commentedon Sep 9, 2021
It's very annoying how using charts in flutter development is ugly and terrible
saturdaywalkers commentedon Jul 9, 2024
Just wasted time converting some charts to 'Material Design' charts, only to find they are only half documented (chart options?) and look abandoned for 10 years or so.
Please update the documentation to not recommend it.
