Align to the left

The reference text is the text, among the selected texts, that is positioned the most at the left.

The text anchor point is moved to the left (for example, from the bottom center to the lower left).

The texts are aligned vertically relatively to the reference text origin point (same x abscissa as for the reference text).

Align to the center

The reference text is positioned at the middle of both left and right extremity points.

The text anchor point is moved to the center (for example, from the top left to the top center).

The texts are aligned vertically relatively to the reference text origin point (same x abscissa as for the reference text).

Align to the right

The reference text is the text, among the selected texts, that is positioned the most at the right.

The text anchor point is moved to the right (for example, from the middle center to the middle right).

The texts are aligned vertically relatively to the reference text origin point (same x abscissa as for the reference text).

Align to the top

The reference text is the text, among the selected texts, that is positioned the most at the top.

The text anchor point is moved to the top (for example, from the bottom left to the top left).

The texts are aligned horizontally relatively to the reference text origin point (same y coordinate as for the reference text).

Align to the middle

The reference text is positioned at the middle of both top and bottom extremity points.

The selected texts are assigned the middle attribute as text origin (for example, from the top left to the middle left).

The texts are aligned horizontally relatively to the reference text origin point (same y coordinate as for the reference text).

Align to the bottom

The reference text is the text, among the selected texts, that is positioned the most at the bottom.

The text anchor point is moved to the bottom (for example, from the top left to the lower left).

The texts are aligned horizontally relatively to the reference text origin point (same y coordinate as for the reference text).
