  Hi, is there a way of adding/setting a title to the legend? If not, can this feature be added to the future version? Thanks.

  Hi,
  
  Could you please elaborate your requirement? You may show tooltip for legends on mousehover.

  Thanks for the reply. Usually the series name is unclear or insufficient to represent the whole meaning. For example, we have two series with name “Yes” and “No”, it lacks the context in the legend. If we can have an option for displaying a title for the legend, then we can specify title like “Alcohol related?” in the legend as the screenshot in the attachment.

  Hi,
  
  For this, you need to Add text SVG element within Legend SVG element. Please refer to the attached sample for the same.

  Thanks for the sample. It works at the first sight, but then think about the legend can be placed at different position, this manual workaround seems to be insufficient/non-flexible. So is it possible to have this as a feature integrated into the wijmo framework? Thanks.

  Hello Zhang

  Thank you for the request/suggestion. In build 396, we have added two new properties to the legend class to address this: title and titleAlign.

  If you are using earlier versions, this fiddle shows a simple way to add titles using a dummy series. This method works regardless of legend position:

  Thanks again for the request/suggestion.
