Changing Position of Plot Captions

[Daniel_Chen]

I have created the following plot using ggplot2.

I would like to move the caption so that it is under the legend. I have tried using the following code:

theme(plot.caption = element_text(hjust = 1))

But it seems like the current position is the "most right" that the caption can go using this code. Any tips in moving the caption further right?

Thanks!

Try something like this:

library(tidyverse)
ggplot(iris, aes(Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width, colour = Species)) +
  geom_point() +
  labs(caption = "caption text") +
  theme(plot.caption.position = "plot")

Extra info:

plot.caption.position
Alignment of the plot title/subtitle and caption. The setting for plot.title.position applies to both the title and the subtitle. A value of "panel" (the default) means that titles and/or caption are aligned to the plot panels. A value of "plot" means that titles and/or caption are aligned to the entire plot (minus any space for margins and plot tag).
