Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
When plotting a detail chart the text is aligned all to the left and resizing makes things worse causing a lot of white background. It's not used since even the title name gets justified in a new line.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
There is a lot of whitespace that should be used to align the words better not everything pressed to the left

**Describe alternatives you've considered**

None that are relevant, most of the time you end up not using it cause it's ugly

Research direction

Reproduce the detail chart using the screenshots and linked example as the visual reference. No files, tests, or entry points are named, so first locate the detail-chart text layout implementation and its existing tests, if any. Done means the available whitespace is used more effectively and the title no longer wraps unnecessarily.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
