Centering ornaments from `pgfornaments` around a theorem environment?

Here is my minimal code:



documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{article}

usepackage{lmodern}
usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
usepackage{amsmath}
usepackage{amsthm}
usepackage{pgfornament}

newtheorem{thm}{Theorem}

newcommand*{centeredornament}{begin{center}pgfornament{88}end{center}}
newenvironment{theorem}[1]{centeredornamentbegin{thm}[#1]upshape}{end{thm}centeredornament}

begin{document}
begin{theorem}[This is a sentence. ]
This is a sentence. This is a sentence. This is a sentence. This is a sentence. This is a sentence. This is a sentence. This is a sentence. This is a sentence. This is a sentence. This is a sentence.

end{theorem}

end{document}


It produces the following as output:



enter image description here



The black portions mark the width of the page. See how the ornaments are shifted to the right, rather than actually being "centered" on the page width? How can I fix this?

          You should add option [width=13cm] to your used command pgfornament like



          pgfornament[width=13cm]{88}


          Without this width the ornament is to long to fit into the textwidth of your text.



          You can use



          usepackage{showframe}


          to visualize the typing area and margins.

            Your ornaments are actually stretching beyond the margins, as the overfull vbox warnings your code issues, tell you.



            enter image description here



            So, you could set things up better with a makebox also taking care of indent with:



            newcommand*{centeredornament}{noindentmakebox[textwidth][c]{pgfornament[width=1.1textwidth]{88}}}


            The [width=1.1textwidth] for the ornament is there to deliberately have it a little larger than textwidth (but centered), as it seems to be your intent. But you can set this value as you please, of course.

                  Without [width=13cm] you get the following result (see the ornament line reaching the margin):

                  share|improve this answer












                  You should add option [width=13cm] to your used command pgfornament like



                  pgfornament[width=13cm]{88}


                  Without this width the ornament is to long to fit into the textwidth of your text.



                  You can use



                  usepackage{showframe}


                  to visualize the typing area and margins.

                      Your ornaments are actually stretching beyond the margins, as the overfull vbox warnings your code issues, tell you.



                      enter image description here



                      So, you could set things up better with a makebox also taking care of indent with:



                      newcommand*{centeredornament}{noindentmakebox[textwidth][c]{pgfornament[width=1.1textwidth]{88}}}


                      The [width=1.1textwidth] for the ornament is there to deliberately have it a little larger than textwidth (but centered), as it seems to be your intent. But you can set this value as you please, of course.
