Is there a way to justify the text in a Label?

[darkdi...@gmail.com]

I think the title is self-explanatory   ; )

I'm trying to use kivy for some kind of interactive-book for childrens, but I can't find a way to justify the text in a Label (the text in a book page in this project)

Thanks in advance !

Does halign do what you need?

with halign y can align the text in the left/center/right side, but I need to align on left AND right sides at once just like in here

Nop, it's not implemented. But that can be done.
Open a feature request on the github, and submit a Pull Request :D

Hi

I had a quick look, and I don't think we have an easy way to do this
(pygame and sdl core text providers doesn't seem to offer justification
options), so I guess the easiest route would be to render word by word,
and manage the spaces between them yourself. I may be missing something
though, maybe someone will have a better idea.

[Mathieu Virbel]

That's right. We already have the logic to render per-word.
If justify is set for halign, we can do the first pass as usual (left or
right, doesn't matter), then justify in the second pass (we'll know
exactly the size of each word + width of the line.)

Hello darkdijkstra,

checkout https://github.com/kivy/kivy/pull/1001

 You can test by running the following commands on the master from github.

    git pull
    git checkout text_justified
    python your_app.py

This introduces a `justify` option along with `left`, `right` and `center`

Best Regards.

Wow, I've seen now it's implemented... last week I wrote some functions to fill a BoxContainer with Labels trying to justify the text... It worked... a bit   XD

Kivy has improved itself one more time !!
