PPPTools offers three alignment modes, all relative to the selected reference object.

Flush Align (to Reference Edge)

Shapes are aligned flush with an edge of the reference object.

Icon	Function
	Left — left edge of all shapes to the left edge of the reference object
	Top — top edge to top edge
	Center (vertical) — vertical center axis to center of the reference object
	Right — right edge to right edge
	Bottom — bottom edge to bottom edge
	Center (horizontal) — horizontal center axis to center

Align to Each Other (with Gap)

Shapes are arranged next to each other with a configurable gap relative to the reference object. The gap is entered in the Ribbon field Gap (in pt).

Icon	Function
	Side by side left — shapes are lined up left-aligned with a gap
	Stacked top — shapes are lined up at the top with a gap
	Side by side right — right-aligned with a gap
	Stacked bottom — at the bottom with a gap

Align to Master (with Gap)

Shapes are moved with a gap toward the reference object (master) — directly against its edge with the defined clearance.

Icon	Function
	To master — left — move shapes to the left edge of the reference object
	To master — top
	To master — right
	To master — bottom

9-Point Positioning

For direct placement at one of nine positions (corners, edges, center) of the reference object:
