How to center text content in tkinter label-CodePudding

I'm trying to make a very basic game where you can move around on a 2D plane made out of normal characters. However I can't seem to get the "world"-text to be centralized in the main label.

I'm thinking there might be some hidden empty spaces but I've not managed to find anymore at this point. Especially on the right side there seems to be an empty column or something?

Any help will be very appreciated and please bear with my code. Cheers!

            coordinates[coords] = ' '

    #Print map

    world=""

    for item in coord_values:
        world = world   item   " "
        i  = 1
        if i % width == 0:
            world = world   '\n'
        if i == 100:
            world = world[:-1]

    #refresh the label that displays the world
    world_label.place(y=90, x=1)
    world_label.configure(font=("Courier", 24), text=world, bg="AliceBlue", anchor="center", width=20, height=10)

CodePudding user response：

There is extra space at the end of each line added by the following code:

for item in coord_values:
    world = world   item   " "
    ...

To remove the extra space, modify the for loop as below:

for item in coord_values:
    world = world   item   " "
    i  = 1
    if i % width == 0:
        world = world[:-1]   '\n'   # use world[:-1] instead of world
world = world[:-1]

However I would suggest to modify the for loop as below:

world = []
for i in range(0, 100, 10):
    world.append(' '.join(coord_values[i:i 10]))
world = '\n'.join(world)
# one-liner for the above:
# world = '\n'.join(' '.join(coord_values[i:i 10]) for i in range(0, 100, 10))
