Any way to align (justify) legend title?

[imbwaldo]

I have the legend positioned to the right of my donut chart, and vertically centered. The only difficulty I'm having is getting the legend title—"Focus Areas"—to justify/align left:

I can't find a way to do it. What am I missing?

Hey @imbwaldo, does this example from the docs help?

    handler(chart) {
      chart.options.plugins.legend.title.position = 'start';
      chart.update();
    }

If you're able to share code, I could be more helpful :)

Thanks, @minimalsm.

I didn't include code because I assumed (when do assumptions ever work?) legend title alignment would be a setting, like tons of others, that I could add to the chart object. For some reason, aligning the legend title requires a separate function? Pasting my code into a code block here yields a mass of unformatted junk and I don't want you to have to sort through that—it's awful. I appreciate your willingness to help, but it would appear I'm just not cut out for this.

But, before I embrace defeat, would you be able to give your "handler" function some context? I'd seen that code in the documentation but couldn't get a sense of where it should go. Does it go in the chart object with all the other parameters? If so, where, exactly?

Take care.

Actually, @minimalsm …

I was able to use your code and make it work—just had to pay attention to the method call's dot structure. I'll have to try that whole thinking thing more often. Heh.

Thanks again—you were a huge help!
