Option name:
graph_title
Default value:
""
Added in version:
2.6
Data type:
string [?]

The datatypes used in this documentation for specifying SVGGraph options are described below. All options can be a literal value of the data type described, a variable containing the data type, or an expression that will produce the data type when evaluated (and they must always be valid PHP expressions).

array
An array, the number and data types of its members will depend on the option for which is it used.
boolean
A boolean TRUE or FALSE value, or any values that convert easily such as 1, "1", 0 and "".
callback
A callable function, which can be either the name of a function or an anonymous function itself.
colour
Any of the colour values supported by SVG inside a single or double quoted string. These include three and six digit hex codes, RGB and RGBA colours, and colour names. SVG uses "none" for no colour, which generally leaves things transparent.
fill
A colour value or one of the gradients and patterns supported by SVGGraph. See the SVGGraph colours page for details.
integer
A negative or positive whole number or 0.
measurement
An integer or float value, or a string containing a number followed by one of these CSS units: px, in, cm, mm, pt, pc.
number
Any number supported by PHP, for example 1 or -3.2 or 1.63e5 or M_PI.
string
Single or double quoted strings. Remember to double-quote your strings if you are inserting a line break:
"Line 1\nLine 2".

global label title

Title displayed on the graph.

This option sets the title shown on the graph itself, not the contents of the <title> element which is set using the title option and appears in the browser title bar.

The title is normally displayed at the top of the graph, though this can be changed using the graph_title_position option.

SVGGraph supports multi-line titles. SVG does not support the HTML <br> element, so you must enclose the string in double quotes and break the lines using a "\n" character and SVGGraph will split the text into lines:

$settings['graph_title'] = "Crop rotation in the 14th century\n" .
  "was considerably more widespread after John";

For this example I have broken the string itself across two lines and put the "\n" character at the end of the first line (just to fit the example on the page better).
