Hello again, I don't blame anyone for not answering my last post, since I obviously hadn't spent much time researching, but I've come a little ways and have another question.
How can I better format text output to a QTextEdit object? I'm inserting 5 columns into each row. When I write the info to a file, it looks like the following: 42: 115 26: 114 35: 112 19: 108 16: 107 45: 107 40: 106 5: 105 41: 104 2: 103 9: 102 48: 102 15: 101 22: 101 27: 101 39: 101 43: 101 10: 100 6: 99 34: 99 32: 98 49: 98 20: 97 30: 97 8: 96 17: 96 38: 96 12: 95 14: 95 37: 95 4: 94 13: 94 44: 94 36: 93 3: 92 24: 92 28: 92 31: 91 29: 89 7: 88 1: 87 18: 85 46: 85 33: 84 11: 83 23: 83 47: 82 25: 80 21: 79 50: 56 52: 39 51: 38 53: 36 54: 25 55: 18 When I write the contents of the file to my TextEdit object it comes out uneven, something like this: 42: 115 26: 114 35: 112 19: 108 16: 107 45: 107 40: 106 5: 105 41: 104 2: 103 9: 102 48: 102 15: 101 22: 101 27: 101 39: 101 43: 101 10: 100 6: 99 34: 99 32: 98 49: 98 20: 97 30: 97 8: 96 17: 96 38: 96 12: 95 14: 95 37: 95 4: 94 13: 94 44: 94 36: 93 3: 92 24: 92 28: 92 31: 91 29: 89 7: 88 1: 87 18: 85 46: 85 33: 84 11: 83 23: 83 47: 82 25: 80 21: 79 50: 56 52: 39 51: 38 53: 36 54: 25 55: 18 What seems to be happening is that the font that pyqt is using is not fixed width, so I did this: qTxtFormat = QTextCharFormat() qTxtFormat.setFontFixedPitch(True) ui.textEdit.setCurrentCharFormat(qTxtFormat) Also, I tried using the pyqt formatting such as the following: qStr = QtCore.QString( QtCore.QString( str(tL2[i][0]) ).rightJustified(2) + ':' + QtCore.QString( str(tL2[i][1]) ).rightJustified(4) ) This still gives me uneven columns. Any suggestions? Thanks, Glen -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
