Text Justification

No legal proceedings required

This tutorial will go over how text is justified or aligned within its bounding box in your SignAgent Templates. There are 2 main things to consider: Text Placement (where the messaging will start from) and Text Justification (the command put into the bounding box, like left, top)

1. Text Placement

There's one general rule to keep in mind when adding text to your sign templates in SignAgent. Text will start from where the text is placed, NOT from where the bounding box is placed.

If you're ever unsure, you can just place a single character in the template, and the text will always start from there.

Don't forget that you should never put more than 1 line of text for a single field in your template

2. Text Justification

In your bounding box, you must set BOTH horizontal justification and vertical justification

  Horizontal  
Left Center Right
     
  Top  
Vertical Middle  
  Bottom  

 

So, for example, you can have:

- left, middle

- center, bottom

Examples

Note we put an additional rectangle as a visual aid for our bounding box. Your bounding boxes should always have no fill and no stroke

right, top

center, middle

left, bottom
