Remove bold from plot title

[maarkar]

Hello,

I have a plot, and I want to remove the bold from the title that seems to appear automatically... Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

relevance_plot <- relevance_data %>% 
  ggplot(aes(x = Condition, y = relevance_comp)) +
  labs(title = "Figure 5. Mean average relevance rating for Relevance Scale question and condition.", x = "Text Condition", y = "Mean Relavance Rating") +
  theme_cowplot()
relevance_plot +
  geom_point(position = "jitter")
relevance_plot + 
  geom_point(stat = "summary",
           fun.y = "mean")
relevance_plot + 
  geom_point(stat = "summary",
           fun.y = "mean",
           size = 4, 
           shape = 21,
           fill = "black") +
  ylim(0, 7) +
  stat_summary(fun.data="mean_cl_boot",geom="errorbar", width = .25)

relevance_plot_final <- relevance_plot + 
  stat_summary(fun.data="mean_cl_boot",geom="errorbar", width = .25) +
  geom_point(stat = "summary",
           fun.y = "mean",
           size = 4, 
           shape = 21,
           fill = "black") +
  plot(font.main = 1, main = "Foo") +
  ylim(0, 7) +
  theme(text=element_text(family="Times New Roman", size=12))
relevance_plot_final

Hi, can you provide a reproducible example of relevance_data? It will help with working out what your graph looks like.

FAQ: How to do a minimal reproducible example ( reprex ) for beginners

A minimal reproducible example consists of the following items: A minimal dataset, necessary to reproduce the issue The minimal runnable code necessary to reproduce the issue, which can be run on the given dataset, and including the necessary information on the used packages. Let's quickly go over each one of these with examples: Minimal Dataset (Sample Data) You need to provide a data frame that is small enough to be (reasonably) pasted on a post, but big enough to reproduce your issue. Let's say, as an example, that you are working with the iris data frame head(iris) #> Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species #> 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.…

Indeed the bold comes from the theme_cowplot().
You need to add:

plot.title = element_text(face = "plain")

to the theme().

library(ggplot2)
library(cowplot)

ggplot(ToothGrowth, aes(x = interaction(supp, dose), 
                        y = len)) +
  geom_point() +
  theme_cowplot() + 
  geom_point(stat = "summary",
             fun = "mean",
             size = 4, 
             shape = 21,
             fill = "black") +
  stat_summary(fun.data="mean_cl_boot",geom="errorbar", width = .25) +
  labs(title = "Figure 5. Mean average relevance rating for Relevance Scale question and condition.", 
       x = "Text Condition", 
       y = "Mean Relavance Rating") +
  theme(plot.title = element_text(face = "plain"))
