How to get text inside of a Button centered?

[rainerschoe]

Text in Button Widget is always left aligned when button has a min_size.
I tried to use LayoutJob like this:

            let mut job = egui::text::LayoutJob::default();
            //job.text = "asd".into();
            job.halign = egui::Align::CENTER;
            job.append(
                "Hello ",
                0.0,
                egui::TextFormat {
                    font_id: egui::FontId::new(14.0, egui::FontFamily::Proportional),
                    color: egui::Color32::WHITE,
                    ..Default::default()
                },
            );
            let eg_button = egui::Button::new(job).min_size(egui::Vec2{x:100.0, y:100.0});
            ui.add(eg_button);

but it lead to text being halfway out of the button.
Align::LEFT and Align::RIGHT also are not doing what I expect here.

Any help appreciated (I am new to egui :P )

Well I am also wondering this. There is no logical reason to NOT have the text centered in a button by default. The current left-justifying behaviour is extremely unexpected from standard UI elements.

E: you can horizontally center the text with something like

ui.horizontal_centered(|ui| { if Self::button(ui) { should_close = true; } });

fn button(ui: &mut Ui) -> bool { ui.add( Button::new(RichText::new("Close")) .min_size(constants::DEFAULT_BUTTON_SIZE), ) .clicked() }
