I'm trying to put the title of my chart on the right hand side in Chartjs but I'm failing miserably. could someone please assist.
<script>
const ctx = document.getElementById('myChart');
const myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
type : 'line',
data : {
labels: ['Red', 'Blue', 'Yellow', 'Green', 'Purple', 'Orange'],
datasets: [{
label: '# of Votes',
data: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
backgroundColor: [
'rgba(255, 99, 132, 0.2)',
'rgba(54, 162, 235, 0.2)',
'rgba(255, 206, 86, 0.2)',
'rgba(75, 192, 192, 0.2)',
'rgba(153, 102, 255, 0.2)',
'rgba(255, 159, 64, 0.2)'
],
borderColor: [
'rgba(255, 99, 132, 1)',
'rgba(54, 162, 235, 1)',
'rgba(255, 206, 86, 1)',
'rgba(75, 192, 192, 1)',
'rgba(153, 102, 255, 1)',
'rgba(255, 159, 64, 1)'
],
borderWidth: ['1'],
}]
},
options : {
legend: {position: 'right'},
label: {display: true, text: '# of votes'},
scales: {
y: {
beginAtZero: true,
}
}
}
});
</script>
I'm relatively new to JavaScript. so there is a lot I need to learn.
Assuming, you want to place the legend right of your chart, you need to define the option plugins.legend.position: 'right'.
Further information is available at Chart.js documentation here.
Please take a look at below runnable snippet and see how it works.
new Chart('myChart', {
type: 'bar',
data: {
labels: ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'],
datasets: [{
label: 'Dataset',
data: [4, 2, 5, 3],
}]
},
options: {
plugins: {
legend: {
display: true,
position: 'right'
}
}
}
