Horizontal alignment

Some of components allow you to set the horizontal alignment of its content in relation to their size. For example, the Text and Image components. Horizontal alignment effects on the view and position of a content and can be set to the left, right margin of a component, or can be centered, or justified (the last two ones can be applied only for the text). For alignment, use the HorizontalAlignment property of the component. Also, for alignment you can use Formatting buttons on the toolbar.

Align left

The component content is moved to the left. After pressing this button we set align left to all components being selected;

Align center

The component content is moved to the center. After pressing this button we set align center to all components being selected;

Align right

The component content is moved to the right. After pressing this button we set align right to all components being selected;

Align width

The content of the component is aligned on both left and right margins. After pressing this button we set align width to all components being selected.

Notice. Align width is available only for the components which are used for a text output – Text, SystemText, ContourText.

HORIZONTAL ALIGNMENT OF A TEXT

More often you use align left option. Align width allows you to get a text of the component to be aligned by width while the left and right spacing between the component and its content are equal. Align width of a text allows you to get text being justified.

HORIZONTAL ALIGNMENT OF AN IMAGE

For horizontal alignment of an image component the same controls as for the Text components alignment are used. Images will be aligned only when the Stretch is False. Otherwise parameters of alignment will be ignored.
