How to position a pygal-chart? (Flask)


Previously i asked about how to properly render a pygal in a flask app;How to embedding a pygal chart on a flask app? . now i am asking how would you properly position it? this is what i mean by positioning it, i want to place the chart in the middle of my screen or any screen.

My code:

import pygal
from flask import Flask
import webbrowser as web
import socket

def test(name=None):
    def top_bar():
        return('''
               <style>
                
               .top_bar {
                 position: fixed;
                 top: 0px;
                 left: 0px;
                 right: 0px;
                 width: 100%;
                 background-color: #4CAF50;
                 color: white;
                 text-align: center;
                }
                
               </style>
               
               
               <head>
                   <title>Tkboard</title>
               </head>
             
             
               <div class="top_bar">
                   <h1 style="font-size:25px"><p style="font-family:verdana">Tkboard</p></h1>
               </div>
             
             ''')        
               
    
    app = Flask(__name__)
    
    def __info__():
        hostname = socket.gethostname()
        ip = socket.gethostbyname(hostname)
        port = int(5969)
        all_val = [str(ip),port]
        return all_val

    all_val = __info__()
    
    
    
    @app.route('/')
    def __main__():
        line_chart = pygal.Line(width=550, height=350,explicit_size=True)
        line_chart.add('Firefox', [None, None,    0, 16.6,   25,   31, 36.4, 45.5, 46.3, 42.8, 37.1])
        line_chart.add('Chrome',  [None, None, None, None, None, None,    0,  3.9, 10.8, 23.8, 35.3])
        line_chart.add('IE',      [85.8, 84.6, 84.7, 74.5,   66, 58.6, 54.7, 44.8, 36.2, 26.6, 20.1])
        line_chart.add('Others',  [14.2, 15.4, 15.3,  8.9,    9, 10.4,  8.9,  5.8,  6.7,  6.8,  7.5])
        #line_chart.render()
        # Mixed
        output = f'''{top_bar()}
               <img src="{line_chart.render_data_uri()}" />
               
               
               '''
               
        return output
               
    __main__()
    url=(f'http://{all_val[0]}:{all_val[1]}')
    web.open(url)
    app.run(all_val[0],all_val[1])
        
test()

Solution

  • It is HTML/CSS problem.

    Add <div> to wrap <img> and add text-align: center CSS atribute to wrapper <div>.

    import socket
    import webbrowser as web
    
    import pygal
    from flask import Flask
    
    
    def test(name=None):
        def top_bar():
            return """
                   <style>
                   .top_bar {
                     position: fixed;
                     top: 0px;
                     left: 0px;
                     right: 0px;
                     width: 100%;
                     background-color: #4CAF50;
