AlignmentPoint
is an option which specifies how objects should by default be aligned when they appear in Inset.
Details

- If obj has AlignmentPoint->opos, then Inset[obj,pos] is equivalent to Inset[obj,pos,opos]. »
- Typical settings for AlignmentPoint are:
-
{x,y} ordinary coordinates in a plot Scaled[{x,y},…] scaled coordinates from 0 to 1 ImageScaled[{x,y},…] scaled coordinates from 0 to 1 across a whole image Offset[{dx,dy},…] absolute offset in printer's points Center, etc. {Center,Center}, etc. - x coordinates can be numbers, Automatic or Left, Center, Right, or Axis.
- y coordinates can be numbers, Automatic or Top, Center, Bottom, Baseline, or Axis.
- Axis corresponds to the position of the axis in a plot or the center line in typeset text.
- Center corresponds to a position centered with respect to the whole image.
