Improve readibility using right justification #157

Closed XRolland closed 3 years ago

XRolland commented 3 years ago

Is it possible to switch from left to right justification in displaying measures (heights, angles and distances) and coordinates? https://github.com/zsiki/GeoEasy/blob/master/doc/wiki_images/multilinework1.png?raw=true

It could be done at least in :

As digit number is already fixed, it could really improve readability of listings with (I hope) little effort.

Thanks for advance!

In spreadsheets, text are usually left justify. That's what I was thinking when I wrote this issue.

But in fact, it will be probably easier to read when points are named as in your example. And if they are named with a mix of alphanumeric and numeric, there's no good solution.

So, finally, finally I'm OK with your proposal. 👍 Thanks for you quick answer!

I'll use mixed justification, alphanumerical values left justified, numerical values rigth justified in all masks and dialogs. I hope I can finish it this week and I'll make a new installer for development version.
