Hiding the legend in Google Chart

Question

I am using the Google charts API. Is there a way to hide the legend for a scatter plot?

You can disable the legend by using 'none' as the position:

legend: {position: 'none'}

This actually works. Haven't tried the other suggestion. Remember should go in the options: `var options = {legend:{position:'none'}};` – o01 Feb 07 '12 at 22:28
This removes the title too! – atreat Aug 15 '14 at 19:18
This is exactly what i was looking for, remove all legends etc, work on visualization version 1 "google.load("visualization", "1", { packages: ["bar"] });" – Vasil Valchev Jun 10 '15 at 12:23

Google's documentation on charts is so bad. – John R Perry Dec 04 '17 at 17:04

A bit cleaner way is

legend: 'none'

Still working for me today (17/009/2015). I'm using "google.load('visualization', '1.1', {'packages':['controls', "corechart", "calendar"]});" – Strabek Sep 17 '15 at 09:47
This didn't work for me on 07.10.2016 (dd.mm.yyyy), although the original accepted answer worked. – Jonas Grumann Oct 07 '16 at 14:59
Doesn't work for me on September 23, 2017. The accepted answer works. – Louis Dionne Sep 23 '17 at 22:32

var options = {
               title: 'USA City Distribution',
               legend: 'none'
              };

In drawChart() function, Add legend: none property in your chart options object

It doesn't appear so from the API, you can only set a position, with no option for "none". You could probably remove it with javascript though, if you can identify the containing element.

Edit: it actually appears as though you can omit the chdl= parameter to get a scatter without a legend.
