### Enumeration Cases

- [`GSComponentAlignment.GSAlignmentAligned`](/Core/GlyphsCore/GSComponent/GSComponentAlignment/GSAlignmentAligned) — Both coordinates were positioned automatically.
- [`GSComponentAlignment.GSAlignmentDefault`](/Core/GlyphsCore/GSComponent/GSComponentAlignment/GSAlignmentDefault) — Automatic positioning follows the normal eligibility rules.
- [`GSComponentAlignment.GSAlignmentDisable`](/Core/GlyphsCore/GSComponent/GSComponentAlignment/GSAlignmentDisable) — Automatic positioning is disabled.
- [`GSComponentAlignment.GSAlignmentForce`](/Core/GlyphsCore/GSComponent/GSComponentAlignment/GSAlignmentForce) — Automatic positioning is enabled regardless of normal alignment eligibility.
- [`GSComponentAlignment.GSAlignmentHorizontal`](/Core/GlyphsCore/GSComponent/GSComponentAlignment/GSAlignmentHorizontal) — Only the horizontal coordinate is positioned automatically.
- [`GSComponentAlignment.GSAlignmentNoAligned`](/Core/GlyphsCore/GSComponent/GSComponentAlignment/GSAlignmentNoAligned) — The component was not positioned automatically.
