Should `main` and `sub` positions adjust in response to themes with dynamic LHS margin?

[grantmcdermott]

Compare:

tinyplot

(Title position stays fixed)

factor2 = function(x) factor(x, levels = unique(x), labels = )

dat = data.frame(
  x = 1:12,
  mnth1 = factor2(1:12),
  mnth2 = factor2(month.name)
)

library(tinyplot)
tinytheme("clean")

plt(mnth1 ~ x, data = dat, type = "p",
    main = "Months of the year", sub = "A relevant subtitle")

plt(mnth2 ~ x, data = dat, type = "p",
    main = "Months of the year", sub = "A relevant subtitle")

tinytheme()

ggplot2

(Title shifts rightwards with longer y-axis labels. I think this looks better...)

library(ggplot2)
set_theme(theme_linedraw())

ggplot(dat, aes(x, mnth1)) + geom_point() +
  labs(title = "Months of the year", subtitle = "A relevant subtitle")

ggplot(dat, aes(x, mnth2)) + geom_point() +
  labs(title = "Months of the year", subtitle = "A relevant subtitle")
