Couple quick questions:
How can I make a line (${hr 2}) stop at a specific point?
and
How can I align something to the right, but not all the way to the right?

Answer 1: To MY knowledge, it requires putting a character at that point. Use your HR, then put a Goto to that point after the HR, and put a dot or a bar, or an underscore there. The HR should stop.
Answer 2: There's a built in offset to the alignr object. Put a number after the alignr object, but before the curly braces, and it will offset the right alignment by a number of pixels. You can guess from there.

i dont think you can... unless you fake it like this
the voffset will change depending on the width of the line, its in there so that poistioning is exactly like you would get with hrCode:some text${voffset 2}${cpubar 1,100}${voffset -2}${goto 170}more text
just tried out some options in conky and only ever get hr all the way across no matter what you put after it
How about something like this:

...Okay... What about it? Is that a solution to the line issue, the alignment issue, or are you just putting it out there for us to look at?
Context is important, davesbrain!
Just putting it out there.
*Edit - Lines were eliminated, and the alignment was:
Code:${alignr 5}

Thank you mrpeachy. Actually, it's just one long image called up in the conky.
thought i would have a go at the "traditional" conky layout... with a lua twist of course
the twist is that the backgrounds, bars and calendar are generated by one lua script, but everything is set up in the conky code... you don't have to edit the lua to make changes
weather is via my lua weather script v9000
this fits a 900 pixel high screen
files (not including main v9000 or config)
