Aligning n items to the left and right

[AblativeAbsolute]

This is my simple solution for aligning items on the same line with different alignments (Tested on 1.11.1).

import dearpygui.dearpygui as dpg

import contextlib

@contextlib.contextmanager
def align_items(n_cols_left: int, n_cols_right: int) -> int | str:
	"""
	Adds a table to align items.

	Please note:
	Many items (e.g. combo, drag_*, input_*, slider_*, listbox, progress_bar) will not display unless a positive width is set

	Args:
		n_cols_left: Align n items to the left. (n_cols_left)
		n_cols_right: Align n items to the right (n_cols_right)
	"""
	if n_cols_left < 0 or n_cols_right < 0:
		raise ValueError("Column amount must be 0 or higher")

	table = dpg.add_table(resizable=False, header_row=False, policy=0)
	for _ in range(n_cols_left - 1):
		dpg.add_table_column(width_stretch=False, width_fixed=True, parent=table)
	dpg.add_table_column(width_stretch=False, width_fixed=False, parent=table)
	for _ in range(n_cols_right):
		dpg.add_table_column(width_stretch=False, width_fixed=True, parent=table)
	widget = dpg.add_table_row(parent=table)
	if n_cols_left == 0:
		dpg.add_spacer(parent=widget)

	dpg.push_container_stack(widget)
	try:
		yield widget
	finally:
		dpg.pop_container_stack()

Example usage

with align_items(3, 1):
	dpg.add_button("left")
	dpg.add_button("left")
	dpg.add_button("left")
	dpg.add_button("right")
