ALIGN (AN)
Chapter —Program Instructions
Purpose Statement specifying which part (anchor point) of a text field, bar code
field, image field, line, or box will be positioned at the insertion point.
Syntax ALIGN|AN
is the anchor point of the object (1–9).
Default value: 1
Reset to default by: PRINTFEED execution
Remarks Each text, bar code, or image field has nine possible anchor points, whereas
lines and boxes have three. One of these points must be selected, or
the default value (1) will be used. The selected anchor point decides the
position of the object in relation to the insertion point, which is decided
by the nearest preceding PRPOS statement. Furthermore, the field will be
rotated around the anchor point according to the nearest preceding DIR
statement.
The nine anchor points of a text, bar code, or image field are located in the
same manner as, for example, the numeric keys on a computer keyboard:
Lines and boxes have three anchor points only: left, center, and right.
The anchor points for the various types of field are illustrated below.
Text field:
A text field makes up an imaginary box limited in regard of width by the
length of the text, and in regard of height by the matrix size of the selected
font. In text fields, the anchor points 4, 5, and 6 are situated on the baseline,
as opposed to bar code fields and image fields.
