GUIDE Static Text - Right Align Cuts Off Text

I have created a series of right-aligned static text boxes to display numbers. The right-align is so that the decimal points are aligned. For some reason the last digit is slightly cut off. Has anyone dealt with this? I'd rather not have to add a space every time I write a number to these boxes. Thanks

Increase the size of your edit text box

pos=get(handles.edit1,'position')
pos(3)=pos(3)+10  % you will increase just the width
set(handles.edit1,'Position',pos)

you can also determine the number of digit to adjust the size of your edit text box

This has no effect. The text box is already quite a bit larger than needed.

then reduce the fontsize

set(handles.edit1,'FontUnits','point');
set(handles.edit1,'Fontsize',yoursize)

Just add a space to the end of the string:

uicontrol('Style','Text','HorizontalAlignment','right',...
   'String','3.1425926535897932384626433 ','Units',...
   'Pixels','Position',[20 20 200 20])

Ralph comments:

This is not a fix. It's just a workaround. And 7 years later in 2020 it is still an issue.

Ralph, this will not be fixed. GUIDE is deprecated and will go away within a small number of releases. I do not know exactly when it will go away, but I would not expect it to still be present in R2022a.
