Question

默认对齐方式是将ggplot标题与plot.background元素左对齐。其他人注意到，您可以使用plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5)来使标题居中。

但是，我想使标题在整个面板中居中，而不是只针对情节。我过去通过修改hjust来推动标题以使其居中显示来完成此操作，但是hjust的值取决于标题的长度，这使得在我设置时真的很麻烦'm个批量生产图。

是否可以将ggplot的标题元素始终设置为在panel.background的中心位置？

  labs(title="This title is left-aligned to the plot")

一种方法是更改标题组的位置，使其从左边缘开始：

p <- mtcars %>% 
  rownames_to_column(var = "model") %>% 
  top_n(8,wt) %>% 
  ggplot(aes(x =model, y = wt))+
  geom_col()+
  coord_flip()+
  labs(title="This title is left-aligned to the plot") +
  theme(plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5))

library(gridExtra)
g <- ggplotGrob(p)
g$layout$l[g$layout$name == "title"] <- 1
grid::grid.draw(g)

主题中现在可以选择调用 plot.title.position 将绘图标题居中到整个绘图区域，而不仅仅是绘图面板。如果您在 plot.title.position = "plot" 中设置 theme()，它会将标题和副标题居中到整个绘图区域，而不仅仅是面板上方。

library(reprex)
library(tidyverse)
data(mtcars)

mtcars %>% 
  rownames_to_column(var = "model") %>% 
  top_n(8,wt) %>% 
  ggplot(aes(x =model, y = wt))+
  geom_col()+
  coord_flip()+
  labs(title="This title is center-aligned to the plot width.")+
  theme(plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5),
        plot.title.position = "plot")

Answer 3

另一种选择是使用patchwork库，它是plot_annotation，因此您将拥有：

mtcars %>% 
     rownames_to_column(var = "model") %>% 
     top_n(8,wt) %>% 
     ggplot(aes(x =model, y = wt))+
     geom_col()+
     coord_flip()+
     patchwork::plot_annotation(title="This title is very long and centered on the whole plot", 
          theme = theme(plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5)))

在面板上始终将ggplot标题居中居中而不是PLOT
