Center Plot title in ggplot2

From the release news of ggplot 2.2.0: “The main plot title is now left-aligned to better work better with a subtitle”. See also the plot.title argument in ?theme: “left-aligned by default”.

As pointed out by @J_F, you may add theme(plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5)) to center the title.

ggplot() +
  ggtitle("Default in 2.2.0 is left-aligned")

ggplot() +
  ggtitle("Use theme(plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5)) to center") +
  theme(plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5))
