align field

Category: vector field

Sets the horizontal and/or vertical alignment of content as displayed inside a presentation tag.

This field lets you to specify whether text and other content inside an object should be aligned to the left margin, right margin, top or bottom, centred, etc.

Applies to...

Sample usage

<box align={right} {This text is aligned to the right}> - Aligns the content of a box to its right margin.

<box width=console.width height=console.height align={center},{middle} {This text is in the middle of the screen.}> - Creates a box as large as the console frame and

Behaviour

The align field takes 1 or 2 text values as follows:

align={horizontal value}
...or... 
align={horizontal value}, {vertical value}

For horizontal value, the following values are valid:

horizontal value interpretation
null Leaves the horizontal alignment unspecified.
{left} Content aligned against left margin, and ragged on the right.
{right} Content aligned against right margin, and ragged on the left.
{center} Content is centred; text is ragged on both sides.
{justify} Text is aligned on both sides.

For vertical value (if specified), the following values are valid:

Note:
not all tags support vertical alignment
vertical value interpretation
null Leaves the vertical alignment unspecified.
{top} Content aligned to the top. This may be relative to the container or relative to surrounding elements; the meaning depends on the tag it is applied to.
{middle} Content aligned to a common vertical centre. (The same caveat as for {top} applies.)
{bottom} Content is aligned to the bottom. (The same caveat as for {top} applies.)
{baseline} Content is aligned relative to the baseline of other elements. (The same caveat as for {top} applies.)
