Org Chart - Massive White-Space Use

[Timothy-S]

I'm in the process of building an organizational chart for Columbus
State University. It was manageable enough at first, but it's gotten
far too large to be of any use for an over-view now, and I have yet to
add data on the individual colleges.

When everything is collapsed there is no reason for the single node to
remain 2/3rds of the way across the screen and still require
scrolling, and when nodes are expanded the children should remain
directly adjacent until and unless they are expanded enough to require
more space. Is there any way to prevent this excessive use of white-
space?

Thank you for your time,
Timothy Sassone

Hi Timothy.  I wish I could help you 'cause I'm from Bexley, but currently the OrgChart doesn't scale to large data sets.  For an alternative way of visualizing the same data, you might want to have a look at the TreeMap:

If there isn't a setting or function in place already, perhaps I could
build one. The OrgChart is formatted as a table, with elements of the
class "google-visualization-orgchart-linenode" separating the actual
nodes. I've written a function that runs through each of them to
apply some change, but setting the width to "15px" doesn't change the
table, as the size of the element is determined by it's colspan. Is
there any way to either shrink the linenode elements, or else float
the actual nodes to ignore their size?
