6 Lay Out a UI Using GUIDE
The Align Objects tool provides two types of alignment operations:- Align — Align all selected components to a single reference line.
- Distribute — Space all selected components uniformly with respect to each other.
Both types of alignment can be applied in the vertical and horizontal directions. In many
cases, it is better to apply alignments independently to the vertical and horizontal using
two separate steps.Align OptionsThere are both vertical and horizontal align options. Each option aligns selected
components to a reference line, which is determined by the bounding box that encloses
the selected objects. For example, the following picture of the layout area shows the
bounding box (indicated by the dashed line) formed by three selected push buttons.
