I am making several maps from a template with a PyQGIS script and I am having problems to align the scale bar on them. My code is:

# create scale bar
item = QgsComposerScaleBar(comp)
item.setStyle('Single Box') # Other possibilities are: 'Single Box', 'Double Box', 'Line Ticks Middle', 'Line Ticks Down', 'Line Ticks Up', 'Numeric'
item.setComposerMap(composerMap)
item.applyDefaultSize()
item.setAlignment('Right')
comp.addItem(item)

I've found the QgsComposerScaleBar.setAlignment() QGIS API Documentation, but when I introduce 'Right' as a parameter I get a type error message. I am using QGIS 2.6.0

The setAlignment() method accepts the enumarator QgsComposerScaleBar::Alignment. So you should change your code as following:

item.setAlignment(QgsComposerScaleBar.Right)

Hope this helps.

    Thanks! Yes, that was the solution to the type error, but the scale bar kept not moving. In the end I solved the issue making the item position relative to its size and to the right margin: item_x_position = comp.paperWidth() - 25 - 5*item.segmentMillimeters() item.setItemPosition(item_x_position ,190, 30, 10) – fgiron Dec 9 '14 at 9:07
