Sizing Google charts to fill div width and height

This CodePen shows an example of making Google Charts responsive. Specifically, the charts are redrawn on resize:

$(window).resize(function(){
  drawChart1();
  drawChart2();
});

in addition to setting the width option,

set chartArea.width to ensure the chart utilizes the available space

also, when the window is resized, the chart needs to be redrawn

see following working snippet... 

google.charts.load('current', {
  callback: function () {
    drawChart();
    $(window).resize(drawChart);
  },
  packages:['corechart']
});

function drawChart() {
  var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
    ['x', 'y'],
    [0, 0],
    [1, 1],
    [2, 3],
    [3, 7],
    [4, 15],
    [5, 31]
  ]);

  var options = {
    chartArea: {
      // leave room for y-axis labels
      width: '94%'
    },
    legend: {
      position: 'top'
    },
    width: '100%'
  };

  var container = document.getElementById('chart_div');
  var chart = new google.visualization.LineChart(container);
  chart.draw(data, options);
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/charts/loader.js"></script>
<div id="chart_div"></div>

EDIT

among others, chartArea also has a property for left

instead of using chartArea.width: '94%'

try setting an absolute left

see following working snippet... 

google.charts.load('current', {
  callback: function () {
    drawChart();
    $(window).resize(drawChart);
  },
  packages:['corechart']
});

function drawChart() {
  var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
    ['x', 'y'],
    [0, 0],
    [1, 1],
    [2, 3],
    [3, 7],
    [4, 15],
    [5, 31]
  ]);

  var options = {
    chartArea: {
      left: 40,
      width: '100%'
    },
    legend: {
      position: 'top'
    },
    width: '100%'
  };

  var container = document.getElementById('chart_div');
  var chart = new google.visualization.LineChart(container);
  chart.draw(data, options);
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/charts/loader.js"></script>
<div id="chart_div"></div>
