Align and distribute
This function should be pretty self explaining. A similar functionality
is used in a lot of drawing programs too. If you click and hold the
left mouse button on the menu background, a frame is shown with which
you can ‘encircle’ several objects (buttons, images, labels...). All
objects with are fully
enclosed, are selected (Remark: ‘Extrapolated’ Gifmasks are not taken
into account!). If you have selected at least one object, a dialog with
the usual functions is shown: Align left, right, top… as well as center
or distribute (even spacing). Center and distribute can be used within
the selected objects or relative to the whole menu page. You can also
do several operations in a row (like align left and distribute
vertically). As long as the dialog is visible, you can always go back
to the original positions with a click on ‘Reset’ (thus you may try it
out until it fits). After you close the dialog with Ok, the objects are
repositioned definitely. It is not possible to select or ‘unselect’
objects within the selection frame. If you want to exclude an object
from an alignment or distribution operation, you have to move it out of
the selection box beforehand.
Remark: This function temporarily
disables the raster.
