# resolvesNaturalAlignmentWithBaseWritingDirection

Specifies the behavior for resolving [`NSTextAlignment.natural`](/documentation/AppKit/NSTextAlignment/natural) to the visual alignment.

```
var resolvesNaturalAlignmentWithBaseWritingDirection: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

When set to `true`, the resolved visual alignment is determined by the resolved base writing direction; otherwise, it is using the user’s preferred language.
The default value is `false`.
