The text system supports four alignment types: left, center, right, and decimal (based on the decimal separator character of the locale in effect). These alignment types are absolute, not based on the line sweep direction of text. For example, tabbed text is always positioned to the left of a right-aligned tab, whether the line sweep direction is left-to-right or right-to-left. A tab's location, on the other hand, is relative to the back margin. A tab set at 1.5", for example, is at 1.5" from the right in right-to-left text.
