Answer 1

You can add the parameter horizontalalignment='center'. The documentation for Text Layout can be found here if you need it for future reference.

from matplotlib.text import Text 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig = plt.figure()

fig.add_artist(Text(0.5, 0.5, text=r"Hello" "
" r"world!!!!!!!", horizontalalignment='center')) 

plt.show()
