How to center column titles in charts?

I have this issue when I create a chart where if go to Dimension Limits and select "Show Total," the column names are not aligned properly.  Aethestically, it looks very weird.  You can see in this example that the "Total" for the total bar is not directly under the column.

Is there any way to prevent this or somehow align them properly?  Thanks!

Actually the labels are centered. You get three bars for every dimension value. It's just that the Total bar is only shown for the 'fake' Total dimension value, but space is reserved for it for all dimension values. And for the Total value there is space reserved for the bars for 2012 and 2013. I agree this is far from optimal, but the chart engine is somewhat limited in some things. I think your chart is better of without the Total from the dimension limits.

Ah, I get it.  I noticed that when I took off the additional dimension, that the labels became center aligned.  Thanks!
