# ## Text Layouter - Alignment
#
# The [HexaPDF::Layout::TextLayouter] class can be used to easily lay out text
# inside a rectangular area, with various horizontal and vertical alignment
# options.
#
# The text can be aligned horizontally by setting [HexaPDF::Layout::Style#align]
# and vertically by [HexaPDF::Layout::Style#valign]. In this example, a sample
# text is laid out in all possible combinations.
#
# Usage:
# : `ruby text_layouter_alignment.rb`
#
