Explanation
- A label can contain multiple lines by using
\n as line breaks. Note that you have to enclose \n in double quotes, not single quotes.
- To right justify, use
Gtk::JUSTIFY_RIGHT
- To left justify, use
Gtk::JUSTIFY_LEFT
- To center text, use
Gtk::JUSTIFY_CENTER
- To left-right justify text, use
Gtk::JUSTIFY_FILL
Notes
Note that $label->set_justify() only justifies the text within the label. The entire label is still centered relative to the window.
If you wish to produce something similar to the output below, i.e. the whole text right align to the right of GtkWindow:
