Gtk justification doesn't work - rebelxt - Nov-05-2016
Using python3 and Gtk3 in Linux Mint 18. Part of my script is:
label=Gtk.label("text")
label.set_justify(Gtk.Justification.RIGHT)The text remains in the center of the widget. Should I be doing sometning different?

Here is a very small demo:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import gi
gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
from gi.repository import Gtk
dialog = Gtk.Dialog(title="Dialog", buttons=(Gtk.STOCK_OK, Gtk.ResponseType.OK))
dialog.set_default_size(400, -1)
box = dialog.get_content_area()
label = Gtk.Label("Label 1")
label.set_justify(Gtk.Justification.RIGHT)
box.pack_start(label, True, True, 0)
label = Gtk.Label("Label 2")
label.set_justify(Gtk.Justification.LEFT)
box.pack_start(label, True, False, 0)
label = Gtk.Label("Label 3")
label.set_justify(Gtk.Justification.RIGHT)
box.pack_start(label, False, True, 0)
label = Gtk.Label("Label 4")
label.set_justify(Gtk.Justification.LEFT)
box.pack_start(label, False, False, 0)
dialog.show_all()
response = dialog.run()
dialog.destroy()

OK, I finally found the documentation that says set_justify does not work on single line labels, use set_alignment instead.
So, for right justification:
label.set_alignment(1, 0.5)
For left justification:
label.set_alignment(0, 0.5)
