Multiline title on a JavaFx Chart

Is there some means - short of extending the JavaFX charting base class(es) - to specify a multi-line title string?

As seen in the screenshot the title is the only element 'wanting' more space.

enter image description here

I had seen some references to using a newline '\n' and even a pipe character '|' in the string but they apparently do not work for the title.

I just threw this in a sample I had and it worked.

    chart.setTitle("really long title...........\n.............and some more ");
    Label l = (Label)chart.lookup(".chart-title");
    l.setWrapText(true);

The \n sets the break point if I don't want it at the limit.

As you can see it's just a Label, the hard part is getting it.

You can also use a css file with the selector. I think it's already centered.

.chart-title{
    -fx-wrap-text : true;
    -fx-alignment : center;
}
