Details

In the Loc column of the input file, you define a single point on the screen using horizontal and vertical coordinates.

The Align setting of the current style determines how stimuli (e.g., text and images) appear relative to this point on the screen.

Left - If Align is set to left, then the top left corner of the stimulus is placed at the point. Left alignment is especially useful when instructions are being presented via a text file stimulus.

Right - If Align is set to right, then the top right corner of the stimulus is placed at the point. This is useful for special cases such as Hebrew text and footer text.

Center - If Align is set to center, then the center of the stimulus will be placed at the point. This is especially useful when displaying images and text strings of different sizes and you want them all centered on the same point.
