UI Lua API import (WAR 1.4.8)

New page

{{LuaApi|group=Label}}
Sets how the text in a Label is aligned.

<pre>
LabelSetTextAlign(labelName, alignment)
</pre>

== Arguments ==
;labelName : <code>string</code> – Name of a Label window.
;alignment : <code>string</code> – One of <code>"left"</code>, <code>"top"</code>, <code>"center"</code>, <code>"right"</code>, <code>"leftcenter"</code>, <code>"rightcenter"</code>, <code>"bottom"</code>, <code>"bottomleft"</code>, <code>"bottomright"</code>.

== Returns ==
Nothing.

== Details ==
* The stock XML uses the same names in the <code>textalign</code> 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 ==
* <code>Error in function call 'LabelSetTextAlign': Window %s does not exist</code>
* <code>Error in function call 'LabelSetTextAlign': Window %s is not a Label</code>
* <code>Error in function call 'LabelSetTextAlign': Invalid alignment type %s in window %s</code> (alignment string, then label name)

== Example ==
From <code>eatemplate_unitframes/source/targetunitframe.lua</code>:
<pre>
LabelSetTextAlign (windowName.."TierLabel", "rightcenter")
</pre>

From <code>ea_guildwindow/source/guildwindowtabprofile.lua</code>:
<pre>
LabelSetTextAlign( "GWProfileMOTDText", "center" )
</pre>
