Text and Graphics Justification
You can also use viewJustify
to affect where graphics and text are drawn within a view. For example, you can have text within a protoStaticText
drawn so that it is at the bottom left or the top right of a view. As another example, a picture within a clPictureView
could be drawn at the top of the view, so that it is centered exactly within the view.
Horizontally, your choices are:
- left
- Left alignment.
- center
- Center alignment.
- right
- Right alignment.
- full
- Stretches the graphics or text to fill the width of the view.
Vertically, your choices are:
- top
- Top alignment.
- center
- Center alignment.
- bottom
- Bottom alignment.
