well, I've been at this for more than 9 hours. almost nonstop.
need the list's help.
while I can create several {N} labels, they print centered. how do I
get the labels to print from the left side of the window widget:
1. label1 text, blah**3.
2 label2 text: whatever
.
.
.
N. LabelN: text: more label strings
??
I have googled here and there. only one of my foobar.c files *seems*
to print from the left. (there is lots more to this test; getting the
list of labels or strings neatly printed is only the start.)
thanks,
gary
(Sorry Gary - you get this twice, the first time I forgot to reply to the list
and not just to you)
If I have a good enough understanding of what you want to do...
Set the label to horizontally expand so it fills the whole width of the
container you place it in.
Since labels are derived from gtk_misc, you can then set how the label positions the text within its
area.

Use 'gtk_misc_set_alignment(GTK_MISC(label), 0, 0.5)' to align left,
and 'gtk_misc_set_alignment(GTK_MISC(label), 1, 0.5)' to align right.
For multi-line labels, you would also want to call gtk_set_justify().

thanks to you and tony newman, both. you included what I needed
most: code!
so far I don't believe I've used gtk_set_justify; I appreciate
the tip. I'll google up the function for v 3.0 if it's still
there but would I justify separate labels (say: label1, label2,
label3 OR label[i]?
BTW, if I seem a bit dense about GTK+, it's because I graduated
in 1982... barely audio back then!

It's actually gtk_*label*_set_justify ().

POST LAST SCRIPT, :):: I came across something like the
allignment + [[i thought]], 0,0,0,5. I Did Not understand
it after 7 or 8 hours. that was when I backed away from the
computers and sacked out.
...i just cd'd to ~/devel and greped for justify. Zip.

Note that since GTK+-3.0 there are the 'halign' and 'valign' properties
of GtkWidget which accomplish the same as setting the GtkMisc alignment
properties.
These are preferred and the GtkMisc API, while not officially
deprecated,
is not recommended for use in new code[0].
Instead, you should be able to use:
gtk_widget_set_halign (label, GTK_ALIGN_START);
This should align whatever widget to the left of the available space for
the given widget (or to the right in RTL mode) - this API can also be
used
for any widget (it is not limited to GtkMisc derived widgets).

I'm going over the url you gave. I got up super early today for my
daughter who is going to study comp-sci this fall(!); so I really
do need more coffee or a *nap*. meanwhile, below is a testfile that
print N labels [[ here N == 3 ]]. Id send you the makefiles, but figure
you can mouse the gcc line. x2 is my lack of imagination.
at any rate, iv'e used the GTK__MISC string--macro? everything I'm coding
from now on is 3.0, so could you edit in the recommended way? you've got
halign; shouldn t I use the valign for mmy labels?
tx much,
gary
