### Align Plot Title
The following example shows how to align the plot title in [layout.title](https://plot.ly/python/reference/#layout-title). [x] sets the x position with respect to [xref](https://plot.ly/python/reference/#layout-title-xref) from "0" (left) to "1" (right), and [y](https://plot.ly/python/reference/#layout-title-y) sets the y position with respect to [yref](https://plot.ly/python/reference/#layout-title-yref) from "0" (bottom) to "1" (top). Moreover, you can define [xanchor](https://plot.ly/python/reference/#layout-title-xanchor) to `left`,`right`, or `center` for setting the title's horizontal alignment with respect to its x position, and/or [yanchor](https://plot.ly/python/reference/#layout-title-yanchor) to `top`, `bottom`, or `middle` for setting the title's vertical alignment with respect to its y position.

here, maybe fewer links, but use backticks to code-format x, xref, yref etc


```python
import plotly.graph_objects as go

fig = go.Figure(go.Scatter(
y=[3, 1, 4],
x=["Mon", "Tue", "Wed"]))

fig.update_layout(
title={
'text': "Plot Title",
'y':0.9,
'x':0.5,
'xanchor': 'center',
'yanchor': 'top'})

fig.show()
```
