[jira] [Commented] (NIFI-96) Consider click to align for components on canvas

["Rob Moran (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-96?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15764408#comment-15764408 ] 

Rob Moran commented on NIFI-96:
-------------------------------

Alignment actions - similar to what you'd see in design or layout applications - could be made available from any selected component's context menu, when multiple components are selected.

I think initially providing two options will be very useful:
# Align center (horizontally)
# Align middle (vertically)

Future iterations can expand on these options (such as align left/right/top/bottom and distribute horizontally/vertically). However, I think in order for context menus to support that many options we should look at expanding context menus to allow cascading (menu > submenu). I plan to create a separate jira for that and link them.
