How to produce only the title without a plot in ggplot?-CodePudding

Is it possible to generate only the title without a plot in ggplot?

ggplot()  labs(title = as.character(paste0(paste("title"))),
              subtitle = as.character("subtitle"))

I want to drop this grey Rectangle:

You could "remove" the panel background using theme(panel.background = element_blank()):

library(ggplot2)

ggplot()   
  labs(
    title = "title",
    subtitle = "subtitle",
    caption = "none"
  )  
  theme(panel.background = element_blank())

EDIT To reduce the white space you could reduce the height when exporting your plot, e.g. in R markdown you could use fig.height:

---
output: html_document
date: '2022-06-29'
---
```{r fig.height = 1}
library(ggplot2)

ggplot()   
  labs(
    title = "title",
    subtitle = "subtitle",
    caption = "none"
  )  
  theme(panel.background = element_blank())
```

You can use the theme_void() for this purpose using the code given below,

 ggplot()  labs(title = as.character(paste0(paste("title"))),
                  subtitle = as.character("subtitle"),
                  caption = "none")   theme_void()
