Thanks for sharing, but this does not work when the item has the
ItemIgnoresTransformation flag set.
I think it's simply not possible to center-align a QGSimpleTextItem
without writing a custom QGItem wrapper of re-writing a simple text
item from scratch...
The main problem is that the bounding region/rect of the item is
expressed in device coordinates (pixels), and the item transform is
relative to parent (or scene) coordinates, so you cannot mix both.
