```
public class Alignment
extends Bin
```
Control the alignment and size of a child Widget. It has four settings: xscale, yscale, xalign, and yalign. You can also specify padding around the child.
The alignment settings are used to place the child within the available area. The values range from 0.0f (top or left) to 1.0f (bottom or right).
The scale settings are used to specify how much the child should expand to fill the space allocated to the Alignment. The values can range from 0.0f (meaning the child doesn't expand at all) to 1.0f (meaning the child will expand to fill all of the allocated space). If both scale settings are set to 1.0f, the two alignment values will have no effect on the child Widget.

```
public Alignment()
```
    Creates an empty Alignment. This is essentially a no-op; the Widget will be top/left which may well be what would have happened if you had not used an Alignment in the first place.
    This is here so that calling setAlignment() after constructing looks a little cleaner. It's not more "efficient" to use this.

    4.0.17
  - Alignment
```
public Alignment(float xalign,
         float yalign,
         float xscale,
         float yscale)
```
    Creates an empty Alignment. The child Widget can later be added by calling the add() method.

         float yalign,
         float xscale,
         float yscale,
         Widget child)
```
    Creates an Alignment wrapping an existing Widget.

    Returns the padding being added below the bottom of the child.
  - getPaddingLeft
```
public int getPaddingLeft()
```
    Returns the padding being added to the left of the child.
    
    Since:
    
    4.0.4
  - getPaddingRight
```
public int getPaddingRight()
```
    Returns the padding being added to the right of the child.

  - getScaleY
```
public float getScaleY()
```
    Get the yscale value.

  - setAlignment
```
public void setAlignment(float xalign,
                float yalign,
                float xscale,
                float yscale)
```
    Set the alignment and scale values. See the discussion at top for the interpretation of the values. All parameters must be within the range of 0.0f to 1.0f.
  - setPadding
```
public void setPadding(int paddingTop,
              int paddingBottom,
              int paddingLeft,
              int paddingRight)
```
    Set the padding on the different sides of the Widget. The padding adds blank space to the sides of the Widget. For instance, this can be used to indent the child towards the right by adding padding on the left.
    WARNING
    Pay close attention to the order of the sides; it might be different than you are expecting.
