        type: 'line',
        data: data,
        options: {
            plugins: {
                title: {
                    display: true,
                    text: 'Custom Chart Title'
                }
            }
        }
    });

This example shows how to specify separate top and bottom title text padding:

    const chart = new Chart(ctx, {
        type: 'line',
        data: data,
        options: {
            plugins: {
                title: {
                    display: true,
                    text: 'Custom Chart Title',
                    padding: {
                        top: 10,
                        bottom: 30
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    });
