Alignments

What are Alignments?

The alignment of an element specifies its relative location on the menu screen. Several alignment presets are defined for your convenience, although you can create a custom alignment, if desired.

Preset Alignments

The following alignments are available by default: "bottom_left", "bottom_right", "top_left", "top_right", "button", "center", "top_center", "left_center", "bottom_center", "right_center"

Specifying a custom alignment

If none of the provided alignments are suitable, you can create a custom alignment as demonstrated in the example JSON below:
