StyleCode - Text Pipeline

This pipeline controls the display of text. It is composed of independent sub-pipelines that control various aspects of the text.

Horizontal Text Aligment

Controlled by the textAlign property:

• If left, right, center or justify, enforces the corresponding alignment.
• If default, will use left alignment with a few exceptions:
  • The outputs of the number pipeline and date pipeline, and the name and header associated with those outputs, use right alignment.

Text alignment only applies to text positioned within a horizontal box wider than itself. Text in resizable boxes (such as the plot legends) or text attached to specific positions (axis labels, barchart labels) is not affected by horizontal alignment rules.

Text Color Pipeline

Controlled by the textColor property:

• If a color, the color is used for the text (the CSS property color is set to the corresponding color for the element).
• If default, the default color of the text is kept. For most text, this is a very dark grey set through CSS, but a few text elements instead use the tileColor to give a touch of color to a tile.

Text color applies to all text : this obviously includes table cell contents, but it also (perhaps more surprisingly) includes tile titles, axis labels, barchart values, and so on.
