Justify text Tcl::Tk

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks! I have some code and I can't figure out how to left justify. I've check the Tcl::Tk can page but I can't find anything. Here's a tear out of my code

my $frame_border_bottom = $mw->Frame( -relief => "flat" );
my $welcome_label_bottom =
    $frame_border_bottom->Label( -text => "Searching for Keywords/City
+ pairs \n" );
    $frame_border_bottom->grid( -row => 7, -column => 3, -columnspan =
+> 6 );
    $welcome_label_bottom->grid( -row => 7, -column => 3, -columnspan 
+=> 6 );

Thanks in advance for the help.

I did a few google searches and didn't find much other than this: `my $welcome_label_bottom = $frame_border_bottom->Label( -text => "Progress Update: \n" )->pac +k(-side=>'right', -anchor=>'n');` [download] but it doesn't seem to work what would the sticky option of grid code look like? - thanks!</p?

"what would the sticky option of grid code look like?" See the Tk::grid documentation. See the "Tk distribution page" for links to the documentation for all the core `Tk::*` modules. — Ken	[reply] [d/l]

How about thinking outside the "Tk box" and pre-format your text before you assign it to the text attribute: `$ perl -le ' $left = sprintf( ">>%-10s<<", "left" ); $right = sprintf( ">>%10s<<", "right" ); print "$left\n"; print "$right\n"; ' __output__ >>left << >> right<<` [download] Hope it helps!
