Abstract
An alignment engine facilitates aligning an object with a text segment, while maintaining the text segment as editable, in a graphics application. The text segment includes glyphs, which are graphical representations of characters. Each glyph is defined internally in the form of path information, which includes one or more points corresponding to the outline of the glyph. The path information for the text segment is determined and utilized in order to facilitate the alignment of an object with the text segment. The text remains editable subsequent to such alignment.
