API:LabelSetTextAlign

Version: WAR 1.4.8

Sets how the text in a Label is aligned.

LabelSetTextAlign(labelName, alignment)

Arguments

labelName

string – Name of a Label window.

alignment

string – One of "left", "top", "center", "right", "leftcenter", "rightcenter", "bottom", "bottomleft", "bottomright".

Returns

Nothing.

Details

• The stock XML uses the same names in the textalign attribute of Label elements.* Any other string raises the Invalid alignment type error and leaves the alignment unchanged.
• After a valid alignment is set, the label's text is laid out again.
• The function needs at least two arguments and only reads the last two.

Errors

• Error in function call 'LabelSetTextAlign': Window %s does not exist
• Error in function call 'LabelSetTextAlign': Window %s is not a Label
• Error in function call 'LabelSetTextAlign': Invalid alignment type %s in window %s (alignment string, then label name)

Example

From eatemplate_unitframes/source/targetunitframe.lua:

LabelSetTextAlign (windowName.."TierLabel", "rightcenter")

From ea_guildwindow/source/guildwindowtabprofile.lua:
