Is there an easy way or plugin to distribute objects in evenly spaced formation?

I assumed it would be the same as including the left and right of the canvas

How could it be the same?

Am I just supposed to measure the amount of pixels from the leftmost object to the rightmost object?

 

You need to take account of the canvas width.

 

X_max - X_min now becomes the width of your canvas.

 

The total number of gaps is the number of gaps between the N objects plus one at each end. So that's N + 1

 

So the calculation is now simply:

 

N = number of objects

Spacing = ( width_of_canvas - (width_of_object_1 + width_of_object_2 + ... width_of_object_N) ) / (N + 1)

 

Space out your objects thus:

|---gap---object_1---gap---object_2---gap--- ... object_N---gap---|

 

The vertical lines represent the edges of your canvas.

Thanks for all your help! I've marked this as the solution.
