Synopsis Alignment of figure relative to parent.

Function FProperty align(num h, num v)

Description Defines the horizontal and vertical alignment of a figure relative to its parents. Alignments range from 0 (left, top) to 1 (right, bottom) as follows:



Alignments can be set per dimension by halign, respectively, valign.

Note that:

• align(hv) is equivalent to halign(hv), valign(hv).
• align(h, v) is equivalent to halign(h), valign(v).

A number of shorthands is provided for common alignment values:

Shorthand	Corresponds to	See
left()	halign(0.0)	Properties/left
