### Description

Gets or sets the frame's horizontal alignment when it is anchored to a paragraph.

### Syntax

```csharp
public HorizontalAlignment Alignment { get; set; }
```

```vbnet
Public Property Alignment As HorizontalAlignment
```

### Members

| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| Left | The frame is left aligned. |
| Right | The frame is right aligned. |
| Center | The frame is centered. |
| Justify | This value cannot be used with this property. |

### Examples

The following example adds a callout frame and works with it through the common frame API by using `FrameBase.Alignment`.

```csharp
TextFrame callout = new(new System.Drawing.Size(3000, 1200)) { Name = "Callout" };
textControl.TextFrames.Add(callout, TextFrameInsertionMode.DisplaceText);
FrameBase frameBase = callout;

frameBase.Alignment = TXTextControl.HorizontalAlignment.Center;
Console.WriteLine($"Alignment used by Frame Base: {frameBase.Alignment}");
```

```vbnet
Dim callout As New TextFrame(New System.Drawing.Size(3000, 1200)) With { .Name = "Callout" }
textControl.TextFrames.Add(callout, TextFrameInsertionMode.DisplaceText)
Dim frameBase As FrameBase = callout

frameBase.Alignment = TXTextControl.HorizontalAlignment.Center
Console.WriteLine($"Alignment used by Frame Base: {frameBase.Alignment}")
```

### Remarks

If the image or text frame has another [Location](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol/framebase/location-property/llms-full.txt) than left, right or center, this property returns zero.
