title: "AnchorType"
description: "The alignment of a [CurvedRow]'s elements, with respect to its anchor angle. This specifies how
elements added to a [CurvedRow] should be laid out with respect to the [CurvedRow]'s anchor
angle.
As an example, assume that the following diagrams are wrapped to an arc, and each represents a
[CurvedRow] element containing a single text element. The text element's anchor angle is \"0\" for
all cases.
```
AnchorType.Start:
-180 0 180 Hello World!
AnchorType.Center:
-180 0 180 Hello World!
AnchorType.End:
-180 0 180 Hello World!

```
The alignment of a `CurvedRow`'s elements, with respect to its anchor angle. This specifies how
elements added to a `CurvedRow` should be laid out with respect to the `CurvedRow`'s anchor
angle.
As an example, assume that the following diagrams are wrapped to an arc, and each represents a
`CurvedRow` element containing a single text element. The text element's anchor angle is "0" for
all cases.
```
AnchorType.Start:

AnchorType.Center:
-180 0 180 Hello World!
AnchorType.End:
-180 0 180 Hello World!
```
## Companion Object
#### Properties
Android
```kotlin
public val Start: AnchorType
```
Anchor at the start of the elements. This will cause elements added to a `CurvedRow` to
begin at the given anchor angle, and sweep around to the right.
Android
```kotlin
public val Center: AnchorType
```
Anchor at the center of the elements. This will cause the center of the whole set of
elements added to a `CurvedRow` to be pinned at the given anchor angle.
Android
```kotlin
public val End: AnchorType
```
Anchor at the end of the elements. This will cause the set of elements inside the
`CurvedRow` to end at the specified anchor angle, i.e. all elements should be to the left
of anchor angle.
