Description
This has been alluded to in a 5 year old comment from @clauswilke here.
To recap:
- They're obsolete, as title alignment can now be set using regular theme elements.
- Legend title alignment can currently be set in 4 (!) ways (same story for legend text):
theme(legend.title.align = ...)
theme(legend.title = element_text(vjust = ..., hjust = ...)
guide_legend(title.theme = element_text(hjust = ..., vjust = ...))
guide_legend(title.hjust = ..., title.vjust = ...)
- They can only be used to control horizontal alignment and not even vertical alignment.
Arguably, we only need the theme(legend.title = ...)
and guide_legend(title.theme = ...)
solutions and can deprecate the guide_legend(title.hjust = ..., title.vjust = ...)
settings as well as they're also redundant.
