Alright. I could implement something like this: Horizontal/vertical justify middle: Default offset value 0%. Offset range -100% to 100% from border to border. The position of text would be calculated so that the left/right bound doesn't go past edge on maximum (100%). This would be pretty much equivalent of the current behavior except that it keeps text inside bound for values between -100% and 100%.
In case of left/right, top/bottom things get a bit different: Default offset value 0%. Offset range depends on selected option according to following rules: left/top -> offset range set as 0% to 100% (negative offset would go past border) right/bottom -> offset range set as -100% to 0% (same with positive). So the effect of choosing any other than "middle" option would cause changes in behavior of offset due to the nature of zero. :) I admit that the proposed solution seems perhaps a bit too complicated. Let me know if you have something neater in mind. I agree that renaming "offset" as "position" might reflect its purpose better. I'm fine with the change. -- Justify options for Text action https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/386494 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Phatch Developers, which is subscribed to Phatch. Status in Phatch = Photo & Batch!: Incomplete Bug description: This patch implements https://blueprints.launchpad.net/phatch/+spec/text-justification . I removed the offset fields and replaced them with justification options. I changed the middle item of horizontal justification to "middle" just to be consistent with vertical justification. In both cases "middle" is also the default option selected. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~phatch-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~phatch-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
