Centering an image

[atsaloli]

Hello! I am trying to center an image in a pdf.

https://pyfpdf.github.io/fpdf2/fpdf/fpdf.html#fpdf.fpdf.FPDF.image says I can use the x argument for this:

Align.C can also be passed to center the image horizontally

I tried doing this and got a NameError:

Error:

    pdf.image('shirtificate.png', w=pdf.epw, h=pdf.eph,  y=20, x=Align.C)
                                                                 ^^^^^
NameError: name 'Align' is not defined

I am learning Python so I might have made a beginner error.

$ pip freeze |grep fpdf
fpdf2==2.6.1
$ python --version
Python 3.11.2
$

Hi @atsaloli!
You are simply missing an import, no big deal:

from fpdf import Align

Yes, thank you @Lucas-C !

hey, this is for a hw assignment and i was also stuck on this for a very long time before i looked it up, if you don't mind could you explain how you know something like this also needs to be imported?

I you also got a NameError: name 'Align' is not defined as mentioned before, that points to an error due to the use of Align without defining what this object is in the script...

Then if you perform a search on Align in fpdf2 documentation, you should find that this enum class is defined there: https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/fpdf/enums.html#fpdf.enums.Align
