textAlign property

Gets or sets the current anchor point or alignment settings for text in the current context.

HRESULT value = object.put_textAlign( v);HRESULT value = object.get_textAlign(* p);

Type: BSTR

start: Default. If the canvas is left-to-right, the anchor point is the left edge of the text. If the canvas is right-to-left, the anchor point is the right edge of the text.
end: If the canvas is left-to-right, the anchor point is the right edge of the text. If the canvas is right-to-left, the anchor point is the left edge of the text.
left: The anchor point is the left edge of the text.
right: The anchor point is the right edge of the text.
center: The anchor point is centered in the text.

The exact alignment depends on whether the direction of IHTMLCanvasElement is left-to-right (ltr) or right-to-left (rtl). The ICanvasRenderingContext2D::textBaseline value also determines the anchor point of the text.
