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.

Specify the coordinates within Inset to be aligned with the center of the enclosing graphic:
Table[Graphics[{Inset[Graphics[Circle[], ImageSize -> 30, AlignmentPoint -> {a, 0}], Center]}, ImageSize -> 70, Axes -> True, Ticks -> None], {a, {-1, 0, 1}}]Table[Graphics[{Inset[Graphics[Circle[], ImageSize -> 30, AlignmentPoint -> {0, a}], Center]}, ImageSize -> 70, Axes -> True, Ticks -> None], {a, {-1, 0, 1}}]Scope (1)
Specify the position to be aligned in 3D Inset, using 0, 1 coordinates:
Table[Graphics[{Inset[Graphics3D[Sphere[], ImageSize -> 50, AlignmentPoint -> {a, 1 / 2}], {0, 0}]}, ImageSize -> 100, Axes -> True, Ticks -> None], {a, {0, 1 / 2, 1}}]Table[Graphics[{Inset[Graphics3D[Sphere[], ImageSize -> 50, AlignmentPoint -> {1 / 2, a}], {0, 0}]}, ImageSize -> 100, Axes -> True, Ticks -> None], {a, {0, 1 / 2, 1}}]Generalizations & Extensions (1)
The alignment point can be specified as an argument of Inset:
Table[Graphics[{Inset[Graphics[Circle[], ImageSize -> 30], Center, {a, 0}]}, ImageSize -> 70, Axes -> True, Ticks -> None], {a, {-1, 0, 1}}]Table[Graphics[{Inset[Graphics[Circle[], ImageSize -> 30], Center, {0, a}]}, ImageSize -> 70, Axes -> True, Ticks -> None], {a, {-1, 0, 1}}]Text
