The example below would enable a title of 'Custom Chart Title' on the chart that is created.

var chart = new Chart(ctx, {
    type: 'line',
    data: data,
    options: {
        title: {
            display: true,
            text: 'Custom Chart Title'
        }
    }

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

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