I'm trying to format the title of a facet_wrap
plot to match the style of the facet strips. In the plot below, I added a title "len", but its formatting doesn't look like that of the facet strips (e.g., 0.5, 1, 2) on the right. How can I make the title look like the facet strips (e.g., gray rectangular box, black outline, centered text across the width of the plot, etc.)?

ggplot(aes(x = dose, y = len)) +
geom_boxplot(aes(fill = supp)) +
labs(title = 'len',
y = NULL) +
theme_bw() +
facet_wrap(~dose, ncol = 1, strip.position = "right")

One quick way would be to use facet_grid
instead, using that text as your column value.
