I'm trying to get the same spacing between the _center points_ of each of the numbers in the Pascal triangle, so that each entry in a row is centered properly underneath the corresponding two entries in the row above. Instead, all the spacing options for Row[ ] seem to just apply to the spacings between numbers. It looks like I would have to calculate the length (i.e., number of digits) of each entry as I go through the table. Is DigitCount the best function to use here? I.e., won't slow things down too much? Or is there a faster way? Thanks for any help.
