Experimental Faster Version of Justification in PySimpleGUI 2020 Part 11 (slightly outdated)

In this tutorial, we will learn about the justification feature in PySimpleGUI 2020. Justification allows you to align text or elements within a GUI window. This feature is particularly useful when you want to make your GUI layout more visually appealing by aligning elements in a consistent and organized manner.

It is important to note that the justification feature in PySimpleGUI is experimental and may change in future versions. However, as of the 2020 release, it provides a faster version that improves the performance of the GUI.

To get started, make sure you have the latest version of PySimpleGUI installed. You can install it using pip:

pip install PySimpleGUI

Now, let’s create a simple GUI window with text elements and experiment with the justification feature:

import PySimpleGUI as sg

layout = [
    [sg.Text('Left Justified Text', justification='left')],
    [sg.Text('Center Justified Text', justification='center')],
    [sg.Text('Right Justified Text', justification='right')],
]

window = sg.Window('Justification Example', layout)

while True:
    event, values = window.read()

    if event == sg.WIN_CLOSED:
        break

window.close()

In the code above, we create a simple GUI window with three text elements, each with a different justification setting (left, center, and right). When you run the code, you will see the text elements aligned accordingly within the window.

You can also experiment with the justification feature with other elements, such as buttons, input fields, and labels. Simply add the justification parameter to the element’s constructor and specify the desired alignment (left, center, or right).

It is important to note that the justification feature is experimental in PySimpleGUI 2020 and may have limitations or bugs. It is recommended to test your GUI layout thoroughly before deploying it in a production environment.

Overall, the justification feature in PySimpleGUI 2020 provides a convenient way to align elements within a GUI window and improve the visual appeal of your application. Experiment with different alignment settings and see how they impact the overall layout of your GUI.

I hope this tutorial helps you understand how to use the justification feature in PySimpleGUI 2020. If you have any questions or run into any issues, feel free to ask for help on the PySimpleGUI GitHub page or community forums. Happy coding!
