Chapter 6 Diagrams and Symbols
The Text Alignment tab allows you to define the alignment of text in the following graphic shapes: rectangles, ellipses, rounded rectangles, and polygons.
You can align free text vertically and horizontally. If the text is in a shape, it aligns with the borders of the shape. If the text is not in a shape, it aligns with text handles.
You cannot change the alignment of text associated with an object in the model.
For each graphic shape, you can define the following text alignment parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Center | Centers the text horizontally and vertically |
| Word wrapping | Displays text in the space taken by the graphic shape |
| Horizontal left | Aligns text to the left according to a horizontal axis |
| Horizontal right | Aligns text to the right according to a horizontal axis |
| Horizontal center | Centers text according to a horizontal axis |
| Vertical top | Aligns text to the top according to a vertical axis |
| Vertical bottom | Aligns text to the bottom according to a vertical axis |
| Vertical center | Centers text according to a vertical axis |
When using the RTF text mode for free text, note that the Text Alignment format (except for the Vertical option) is disabled in the Symbol Format dialog box.
