In other words, the text is being centered around the location of the the left spine of the text box plus the padding amount.\n\nIf you try to right-align the text, the entire text is actually found to the left of the text box.\n\nHere's a simple example and figure to illustrate. Note, this works with or without ImageGrid.\n\n```\nimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt\nfrom mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1 import ImageGrid\nfrom mpl_toolkits.axes_grid.anchored_artists import AnchoredText\nfig = plt.figure()\n# grid = ImageGrid(fig, 111, nrows_ncols=(1,1))\n# ax0 = grid[0]\nax0 = fig.add_subplot(111)\ntitle = 'Test Test Test Test Test'\nat = AnchoredText(title, prop=dict(size=24, horizontalalignment='center'),\n                  frameon=True, loc=9, borderpad=0.5, pad=0.5)\nat.patch.set_boxstyle(\"round, pad=0, rounding_size=0.25\")\nax0.add_artist(at)\nplt.show()\n```\n\n![tmp](https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/228644/142515/759cf85e-72f9-11e2-9ba8-6fdbeaded99a.png)\n\nHere are a couple of issues and pull requests that _could_ be related.\n\nIssue #1571 \nPull Request #1081 \nPull Request #1589\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/pmarshwx","@type":"Person","name":"pmarshwx"},"datePublished":"2013-02-09T20:53:41.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":12},"url":"https://github.com/1742/matplotlib/issues/1742"}
