New Coding Concepts

String Justification

In /flyweight/column.py, there are commands center(), ljust() and rjust() .

These are special commands on strings that allow you to pad strings and align them left, right, center depending on total string length.

eg,

>>> "abcd".center(10)
'   abcd   '

>>> "abcd".rjust(10)  
'      abcd'

>>> "abcd".ljust(10) 
'abcd      '
