A Label showing numbers should paint its text right aligned, but the position of the text is computed with regard of its preferred size:

Dimension offset = getSize().getDifference(getPreferredSize());

When using GridLayout and GridData, the GridData sets the Figure's preferred size directly:

Dimension size = figure.getPreferredSize(widthHint, heightHint);
if (widthHint != -1)
    size.width = widthHint;
if (heightHint != -1)
    size.height = heightHint;

The problem is, when you use a hint:

Label label = new Label("0");
label.setLabelAlignment(PositionConstants.RIGHT);

GridData data = new GridData();
data.horizontalAlignment = SWT.FILL:
data.widthHint = 100;

container.add(label, data);

Then is the text painted on the left side instead of right size.
