Enum - Alignment

Authoritative source: ref/doc/iced/enum.Alignment.html.

# Rustdoc summary

Alignment on the axis of a container.

# Verified declaration

pub enum Alignment {
    Start,
    Center,
    End,
}

# When to use

Use this enum when modeling or configuring the set of discrete variants represented by iced::....

# Why to use

It provides explicit, typed variant semantics that match runtime and widget APIs documented in rustdoc.

# Use this when...

• You need a typed set of variants for layout/style/runtime behavior.
• You want pattern matching instead of ad-hoc booleans.
• You are configuring widget behavior with explicit choices.

# Minimal example

// Choose an enum variant and pass it into widget/runtime configuration.

# How it works

Enums model constrained strategy choices in Iced APIs. They keep configuration readable and make invalid combinations easier to catch at compile time.

# Common patterns

// Use match expressions for app-driven variant selection.

# Gotchas / tips

• Similar variant names may have different effects across APIs.
• Keep variant selection close to widget config for clarity.
• Confirm semantics in rustdoc for edge cases.
