I have a bunch of text objects below one another, and I'm trying to get their left edges to line up. Unfortunately, they are all of slightly different lengths, and because I generate them in a for loop and the "point" used by text objects is a center point, rather than a corner point, I can't get them to line up. Anyone have any ideas on how to get them to line up?

Yeah, hmm. Not as easy as it should be.

Maybe try using the "Courier" fixed-width font and make all the strings the same length (using f-strings and field width specifiers).

In my future graphics3.py, I should maybe figure out a way specify a way to left or right justify the text in a Text object.

Using Courier worked! I was slightly mistaken in that the text objects were, in fact, the same length. It was the varying width of the characters messing things up. Thank you Dr. Stonedahl!
