    - #### LEADING

          public static final GroupLayout.Alignment LEADING

      Indicates the elements should be aligned to the origin. For the horizontal axis with a left to right orientation this means aligned to the left edge. For the vertical axis leading means aligned to the top edge.

        `GroupLayout.createParallelGroup(Alignment)`

    - #### TRAILING

          public static final GroupLayout.Alignment TRAILING

      Indicates the elements should be aligned to the end of the region. For the horizontal axis with a left to right orientation this means aligned to the right edge. For the vertical axis trailing means aligned to the bottom edge.
      See Also:
        `GroupLayout.createParallelGroup(Alignment)`

    - #### CENTER

          public static final GroupLayout.Alignment CENTER

      Indicates the elements should be centered in the region.
      See Also:
        `GroupLayout.createParallelGroup(Alignment)`

    - #### BASELINE

          public static final GroupLayout.Alignment BASELINE

      Indicates the elements should be aligned along their baseline.
      See Also:
        `GroupLayout.createParallelGroup(Alignment)`, `GroupLayout.createBaselineGroup(boolean,boolean)`

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### values

          public static GroupLayout.Alignment[] values​()

      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

          for (GroupLayout.Alignment c : GroupLayout.Alignment.values())
              System.out.println(c);

      Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

    - #### valueOf

          public static GroupLayout.Alignment valueOf​(String name)

      Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
        `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        `NullPointerException` - if the argument is null
