Write Modify Paragraph Alignment

The ooodev.format.writer.modify.para.alignment.Alignment class is used to modify the values seen in Fig. 1067 of a paragraph style.

Setup

General function used to run these examples:

from ooodev.format.writer.modify.para.alignment import Alignment, StyleParaKind
from ooodev.format.writer.modify.para.alignment import ParagraphAdjust, ParagraphVertAlignEnum
from ooodev.format.writer.modify.para.alignment import WritingMode, WritingMode2Enum
from ooodev.format.writer.modify.para.alignment import LastLineKind
from ooodev.office.write import Write
from ooodev.gui import GUI
from ooodev.loader.lo import Lo

def main() -> int:
    with Lo.Loader(Lo.ConnectPipe()):
        doc = Write.create_doc()
        GUI.set_visible(doc=doc)
        Lo.delay(300)
        GUI.zoom(GUI.ZoomEnum.ENTIRE_PAGE)

        shadow_style = Alignment(
            align=ParagraphAdjust.BLOCK,
            align_vert=ParagraphVertAlignEnum.TOP,
            txt_direction=WritingMode(WritingMode2Enum.LR_TB),
            expand_single_word=True,
            align_last=LastLineKind.JUSTIFY,
            style_name=StyleParaKind.STANDARD,
        )
        shadow_style.apply(doc)

        cursor = Write.get_cursor(doc)
        Write.append_para(cursor=cursor, text=p_txt)

        style_obj = Alignment.from_style(doc=doc, style_name=StyleParaKind.STANDARD)
        assert style_obj.prop_style_name == str(StyleParaKind.STANDARD)
        Lo.delay(1_000)

        Lo.close_doc(doc)

    return 0

    sys.exit(main())

Apply alignment to a style

Before applying Style

Writer dialog Paragraph Alignmet style default — Fig. 1067 Writer dialog Paragraph Alignmet style default

Apply style

# ... other code

shadow_style = Alignment(
    align=ParagraphAdjust.BLOCK,
    align_vert=ParagraphVertAlignEnum.TOP,
    txt_direction=WritingMode(WritingMode2Enum.LR_TB),
    expand_single_word=True,
    align_last=LastLineKind.JUSTIFY,
    style_name=StyleParaKind.STANDARD,
)
shadow_style.apply(doc)

After appling style

Writer dialog Paragraph Alignmet style changed — Fig. 1068 Writer dialog Paragraph Alignmet style changed

Getting the alignment from a style

We can get the alignment from the document.

# ... other code

style_obj = Alignment.from_style(doc=doc, style_name=StyleParaKind.STANDARD)
assert style_obj.prop_style_name == str(StyleParaKind.STANDARD)
