Row/Column Data Vector Class: _setAlignment

Argument	Type	Description
align	N	specifies the base line or alignment value
unit	C	specifies the base line or alignment unit of measure.

Details

The _setAlignment method is valid only if the viewer is a table editor. If you use the row/column data vector in conjunction with the _getRowInfo or _setRowInfo method, the value specified by the _setAlignment method is interpreted as the row's base line. This is the distance from the top of the row to the start of the text.

If you use the row/column data vector in conjunction with the _getColumnInfo or _setColumnInfo method, the value returned by the _setAlignment method is interpreted as the row's alignment. This is the distance from the left of the column to the start of the text.

The following conditions also are true when a row/column data vector is used in conjunction with the _getColumnInfo method or the _setColumnInfo method:

• The alignment value specified by the _setAlignment method specifies how much space is available in which to align the text from the left of the column.

• The alignment justification specified by the _setAlignJust method tells how to justify the text horizontally in the width given by the _setAlignment method.

• The alignment character specified by the _setAlignmentChar method is the character on which you want the data in the column to be aligned.

• The number of decimals specified by the _setDecimals method is the number of characters allowed to the right of the alignment character specified by the _setAlignmentChar method if the alignment justification specified by the _setAlignJust method is RIGHT.

• Use either the _setDecimals or the _setAlignment method, but not both.
