Description
Reproducible example
Demo 1 : https://codepen.io/Lexachoc/pen/gbaWEPG
Demo 2 with ternary plot: https://codepen.io/Lexachoc/pen/myemoOB
The problem
There is currently no option to configure the colorbar.title.text
alignment. It is always left-aligned.

I've seen posts in the forum and on Stackoverflow asking how to do this, but it is not possible:

Why this is important
Sometimes we have longer title text. Alignment can help us create a better look with nice alignment.
Even if we break the text with <br>
, it is still left-aligned.
Imaging to have a ternary plot like below:

Since the colorbar.title.text
is left-aligned, we wasted a lot of space on the right side!
If we could adjust the alignment of the colorbar.title.text
to that it is right-aligned, illustrated as below:

We can save a lot of space and enlarge the ternary diagram!
Othrewise, the entire colorbar takes up space and makes the main ternary diagram smaller!
It looks crazy, but you should see that it is obviously affected by the colorbar.title.text
in the color bar:
