## Description

ClutterAlignConstraint is a ClutterConstraint that aligns the position of the ClutterActor to which it is applied to the size of another ClutterActor using an alignment factor

ClutterAlignConstraint is available since Clutter 1.4

## Functions

### clutter_align_constraint_new ()

    ClutterConstraint *
    clutter_align_constraint_new (ClutterActor *source,
                                  ClutterAlignAxis axis,
                                  gfloat factor);

Creates a new constraint, aligning a ClutterActor's position with regards of the size of the actor to `source` , with the given alignment `factor`

#### Parameters

source | the ClutterActor to use as the source of the alignment, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]
axis | the axis to be used to compute the alignment |
factor | the alignment factor, between 0.0 and 1.0 |

#### Returns

the newly created ClutterAlignConstraint

Since: 1.4

### clutter_align_constraint_set_source ()

    void
    clutter_align_constraint_set_source (ClutterAlignConstraint *align,
                                         ClutterActor *source);

Sets the source of the alignment constraint

#### Parameters

align | a ClutterAlignConstraint |
source | a ClutterActor, or `NULL` to unset the source. | [allow-none]

Since: 1.4

### clutter_align_constraint_get_source ()

    ClutterActor *
    clutter_align_constraint_get_source (ClutterAlignConstraint *align);

Retrieves the source of the alignment

#### Parameters

align | a ClutterAlignConstraint |

#### Returns

the ClutterActor used as the source of the alignment.

[transfer none]

Since: 1.4

### clutter_align_constraint_set_align_axis ()

    void
    clutter_align_constraint_set_align_axis
                                   (ClutterAlignConstraint *align,
                                    ClutterAlignAxis axis);

Sets the axis to which the alignment refers to

#### Parameters

align | a ClutterAlignConstraint |
axis | the axis to which the alignment refers to |

Since: 1.4

### clutter_align_constraint_get_align_axis ()

    ClutterAlignAxis
    clutter_align_constraint_get_align_axis
                                   (ClutterAlignConstraint *align);

Retrieves the value set using `clutter_align_constraint_set_align_axis()`

#### Parameters

align | a ClutterAlignConstraint |

#### Returns

the alignment axis

Since: 1.4

### clutter_align_constraint_set_factor ()

    void
    clutter_align_constraint_set_factor (ClutterAlignConstraint *align,
                                         gfloat factor);

Sets the alignment factor of the constraint

The factor depends on the “align-axis” property and it is a value between 0.0 (meaning left, when “align-axis” is set to `CLUTTER_ALIGN_X_AXIS`; or meaning top, when “align-axis” is set to `CLUTTER_ALIGN_Y_AXIS`) and 1.0 (meaning right, when “align-axis” is set to `CLUTTER_ALIGN_X_AXIS`; or meaning bottom, when “align-axis” is set to `CLUTTER_ALIGN_Y_AXIS`). A value of 0.5 aligns in the middle in either cases

#### Parameters

align | a ClutterAlignConstraint |
factor | the alignment factor, between 0.0 and 1.0 |

Since: 1.4

### clutter_align_constraint_get_factor ()

    gfloat
    clutter_align_constraint_get_factor (ClutterAlignConstraint *align);

Retrieves the factor set using `clutter_align_constraint_set_factor()`

#### Parameters

align | a ClutterAlignConstraint |

#### Returns

the alignment factor

Since: 1.4

## Types and Values

### ClutterAlignConstraint

    typedef struct _ClutterAlignConstraint ClutterAlignConstraint;

ClutterAlignConstraint is an opaque structure whose members cannot be directly accesses

Since: 1.4

### enum ClutterAlignAxis

Specifies the axis on which ClutterAlignConstraint should maintain the alignment.

#### Members

CLUTTER_ALIGN_X_AXIS | Maintain the alignment on the X axis |
CLUTTER_ALIGN_Y_AXIS | Maintain the alignment on the Y axis |
CLUTTER_ALIGN_BOTH | Maintain the alignment on both the X and Y axis |

Since: 1.4

## Property Details

### The `“align-axis”` property

      “align-axis”               ClutterAlignAxis

The axis to be used to compute the alignment

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Default value: CLUTTER_ALIGN_X_AXIS

Since: 1.4

### The `“factor”` property

      “factor”                   gfloat

The alignment factor, as a normalized value between 0.0 and 1.0

The factor depends on the “align-axis” property: with an align-axis value of `CLUTTER_ALIGN_X_AXIS`, 0.0 means left and 1.0 means right; with a value of `CLUTTER_ALIGN_Y_AXIS`, 0.0 means top and 1.0 means bottom.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Allowed values: [0,1]

Default value: 0

Since: 1.4

### The `“source”` property

      “source”                   ClutterActor *

The ClutterActor used as the source for the alignment.

The ClutterActor must not be a child or a grandchild of the actor using the constraint.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Since: 1.4
