I am using Tkinter to align screen text. I have been unsuccessful in properly aligning the text I want to display. Currently this is displaying on a 24" monitor and I cannot get some of the text to go all the way to the right of the screen. I have tried

sticky=E 

but it did not move the text to right.Screen Image

What you need to do is set a weight for the center column. Weights are used to tell the column/row to expand a specific rate.

Add this line just under win = Tk():

win.columnconfigure(1, weight=1)

Then change your columns in your labels to the following.

Label(win,text="%").grid(row=2,column=1)

Label(win,text="PCS").grid(row=2,column=2)

Label(win,text="").grid(row=3,sticky=W)



Label(win,text="Target:").grid(row=4)

Label(win,text="75").grid(row=4,column=1)

Label(win,text=TARGET_DISPLAY).grid(row=4,column=2)

Label(win,text="").grid(row=5,sticky=W)



Label(win,text="Actual:").grid(row=6)

Label(win,textvariable=ACTUAL_VALUE).grid(row=6,column=2)

Label(win,textvariable=Efficiency_VALUE).grid(row=6,column=1)

This should move all your labels on the far right that are meant to be there and then the mid labels to the cent of the screen.
