Add option to centre justify step group steps

Subject

Add option to centre justify Step Group and Callout steps.

Environment

Version of LPub3D - 2.3.13
Operating system - All

Expected behaviour

Have an option to automatically place steps in a Step Group or multi step Callout at the vertical centre, horizontal centre or dead centre of its bounding region.

Current behaviour

Steps are justified left when vertical allocation is specified or towards the divider when divider is specified and the allocation is horizontal.

Solution

Add ‘Justify’ drop-down and ‘Centre spacing’ dialogue to Step Group and Callout Setup dialogues. The Centre drop-down offers options to center justify steps vertically, horizontally and dead centre plus the default left justify - the behaviour before this enhancement.

When a step is centred, all allocated margins are repurposed and applied as specified across the left, right, top or bottom regions of the step - minus the centre spacing value between items.

Centre justify behaviour can be applied to Callouts and multiple steps within a Callout.

Hi Jaco, Indeed.

This one was a little stinker to get right.

Please be advised that some of the graphics in this ticket are not up to date. Specifically the Step Group Setup dialogue which now has a drop-down and double spinner dialogue. Moreover, the meta command shown to center items has changed. I’ll update the ticket graphics shortly.

Cheers,
