    Hi

    ##

    wm geometry . 400x200
    pack [ttk::label .lab1 -justify center -text testtext] -fill x
    pack [label .lab2 -justify center -text testtext] -fill x

    ##

    The text from .lab1 is on the right site.
    The text from .lab2 is on the center.

    Why this different behavior.

    Do I something wrong.

    regards and merry xmas

    I know

    I think "-justify center" should show the text on both (ttk::label and
    label) in the center.
    But it doesn't. Why.

    As the manual page says, the -justify option relates to multi-line
    strings: "If there are multiple lines of text, specifies how the lines
    are laid out relative to one another". Relative to one another, not to
    the label overall. Since your labels only have one line of text, the
    -justify option has no effect.

    To center the text on the labels you must use a different option:
    -anchor. This should do what you want:

    wm geometry . 400x200
    pack [ttk::label .lab1 -anchor center -text testtext] -fill x
    pack [label .lab2 -anchor center -text testtext] -fill x

    Thank's.
    That's what I'm looking for.
