Basic Line Chart With Customizable axis and tick labels



Following is an example of a basic line chart with customized axis and tick labels. We've already seen the configuration used to draw this chart in Google Charts Configuration Syntax chapter. So, let's see the complete example.

Configurations

We've added textStyle and titleTextStyle configurations to change default text styles.

// Set chart options
var options = {
   textStyle: {
      color: '#01579b',
      fontSize: 20,
      fontName: 'Arial',
      bold: true,
      italic: true
   },
   titleTextStyle: {
      color: '#01579b',
      fontSize: 16,
      fontName: 'Arial',
      bold: false,
      italic: true
   }
};
