# Align
The `align` style aligns children within a container.
## Syntax
--8<-- "docs/snippets/syntax_block_start.md"
align: <a href="../../css_types/horizontal"><horizontal></a> <a href="../../css_types/vertical"><vertical></a>;
align-horizontal: <a href="../../css_types/horizontal"><horizontal></a>;
align-vertical: <a href="../../css_types/vertical"><vertical></a>;
--8<-- "docs/snippets/syntax_block_end.md"
The `align` style takes a [`<horizontal>`](../css_types/horizontal.md) followed by a [`<vertical>`](../css_types/vertical.md).
You can also set the alignment for each axis individually with `align-horizontal` and `align-vertical`.
## Examples
### Basic usage
This example contains a simple app with two labels centered on the screen with `align: center middle;`:
=== "Output"
```{.textual path="docs/examples/styles/align.py"}
```
=== "align.py"
```python
--8<-- "docs/examples/styles/align.py"
```
=== "align.tcss"
```css hl_lines="2"
--8<-- "docs/examples/styles/align.tcss"
```
### All alignments
The next example shows a 3 by 3 grid of containers with text labels.
Each label has been aligned differently inside its container, and its text shows its `align: ...` value.
=== "Output"
```{.textual path="docs/examples/styles/align_all.py"}
```
=== "align_all.py"
```python
--8<-- "docs/examples/styles/align_all.py"
```
=== "align_all.tcss"
```css hl_lines="2 6 10 14 18 22 26 30 34"
--8<-- "docs/examples/styles/align_all.tcss"
```
## CSS
```css
/* Align child widgets to the center. */
align: center middle;
/* Align child widget to the top right */
align: right top;
/* Change the horizontal alignment of the children of a widget */
align-horizontal: right;
/* Change the vertical alignment of the children of a widget */
align-vertical: middle;
```
## Python
```python
# Align child widgets to the center
widget.styles.align = ("center", "middle")
# Align child widgets to the top right
widget.styles.align = ("right", "top")
# Change the horizontal alignment of the children of a widget
widget.styles.align_horizontal = "right"
# Change the vertical alignment of the children of a widget
widget.styles.align_vertical = "middle"
```
