Some components (or things that use components) require a bit more information than origin and width/height. The alignment role allows a component to specify it's horizontal and vertical alignment.

    package My::Component;

    extends 'Graphics::Primitive::Component';

    with 'Graphics::Primitive::Aligned';

    1;

Horizontal alignment value. Valid values are 'center', 'left' and 'right'.

Vertical alignment value. Valid values are 'bottom', 'center' and 'top'.
