Overview

The style_position() method is called to set the position of the chart title.

Setup

General setup used to run the examples in this page.

        title = chart_doc.get_title()
        if title is None:
            raise ValueError("Title not found")

        title.style_position(7.1, 66.3)

        Lo.delay(1_000)
        doc.close()
    return 0

Applying Position

Before formatting the chart is seen in Fig. 832.

By default the Position class uses millimeters as the unit of measure.

Apply to Title

# ... other code
title = chart_doc.get_title()
if title is None:
    raise ValueError("Title not found")

title.style_position(7.1, 66.3)

The results are seen in Fig. 642 and Fig. 611.

Apply to Subtitle

# ... other code
sub_title = chart_doc.first_diagram.get_title()
if sub_title is None:
    raise ValueError("Title not found")

sub_title.style_position(7.1, 66.3)

The results are seen in Fig. 644.
