Text alignment of a block of text, not left-aligned

[Michael]

Currently the text stimulus doesn’t quite operate in the way that you might (naturally) expect, as per discussion here:

textStim alignment alignHoriz alignVert

Hi all, I’m very new at psychopy and try some builder and coder experiment. I’m working on mac os x 10.13.3 and psychopy 1.85.6. And…I’ve got a little problem. I played with testStim through coder and I was trying to align the text to the left with this code: from psychopy import visual, core win = visual.Window() msg = visual.TextStim(win,alignHoriz='left', height=0.1,wrapWidth=None, text=u"text text text text text text text text text text text text \ntext text text text \n\ntext .") msg…

A new and improved text stimulus is on the way but unfortunately if you need this functionality right now, you are probably going to need to manually pad your text with spaces to achieve what you want.
