Change legend position of ng-charts (using angular2)

Question

How do I change the position of the legend (that by default appears on top of the chart)? I'm using ng-charts, and I'm trying to change the position according to the documentation, but it does not seem to be working.

The template contains this:

<canvas baseChart
  [datasets]="datasets"
  [labels]="labels"
  [chartType]="type"
  [colors]="colors"
  [legend]="legend"
  [position]="position">
</canvas>

And the component variables are:

labels: string[] = [ 'EMI', 'Food', 'Fuel', 'bike' ];
type: string = 'doughnut';
legend: boolean = true;
position: string = 'left';
colors: Color[] = [{}];

datasets: any[] = [{
  data: [ 3350, 5450, 4100, 1000 ],
  backgroundColor: [
    "#FF6384",
    "#36A2EB",
    "#FFCE56"
  ],
  hoverBackgroundColor: [
    "#FF6384",
    "#36A2EB",
    "#FFCE56"
  ]
}];

As per the readme of ng2-charts, you can use options to change any properties not exposed by ng2-charts itself.

Add [options]="options" to your template, and an options variable to your component:

private options: any = {
  legend: { position: 'left' }
}
