Alignment Enumeration

Indicates an alignment of an object relative to the scale. In the descriptions below 'outbound' refers to an element's outer outline, 'inbound' refers to an element's inner outline and 'center' refers to an element's center, that is, the middle of the inbound and outbound.

public enum Alignment

 Members

	Member name	Description
	CenterInside	Specifies that the outbound of an object is aligned with the center of the scale.
	CenterOutside	Specifies that the inbound of an object is aligned with the center of the scale.
	InnerCenter	Specifies that the center of an object is aligned with the inbound of the scale.
	InnerInside	Specifies that the outbound of an object is aligned with the inbound of the scale.
	InnerOutside	Specifies that the inbound of an object is aligned with the inbound of the scale.
	OuterCenter	Specifies that the center of an object is aligned with the outbound of the scale.
	OuterInside	Specifies that the outbound of an object is aligned with the outbound of the scale.
	OuterOutside	Specifies that the inbound of an object is aligned with the outbound of the scale.
	TrueCenter	Specifies that the center of an object is aligned with the center of the scale.

 Remarks

The following scheme illustrates all possible alignment modes:

The pale blue lane at the background represents an oval scale, the orange line represents the center of the scale and the green objects are the elements being aligned to the scale using different alignment modes. The center of each element is illustrated in light green color. The alignment modes used for each of the elements in the scheme is specified below:

1. InnerInside
2. InnerCenter
3. InnerOutside
4. CenterInside
5. TrueCenter
6. CenterOutside
7. OuterInside
8. OuterCenter
9. OuterOutside

The position of the aligned elements can be further adjusted through their offset. The offset of the different element types is specified through a different property. For example for Range objects, it is specified through the Offset property and for ticks and labels it is specified respectively by the TickOffset and LabelOffset properties of the corresponding TickSettings class.
