Justification determines how the control is displayed relative to the specified position, and also the font and color used in the display.  The first character is the justification

L, l mean left justified.  For a lower case l, the background around the text will be erased then the text is drawn.  For an upper case L, the background will not be erased.  Erasing the background can be useful for creating labeling effects.
C,c means centered.  Use lower case to erase background.
R,r means right justified.  Use lower case to erase background.

The justification occurs relative to the x position specified.  If you use the default width the appropriate width will first be determined before the justification is done so that you should get the alignment you want.  

Justification does not affect the y position.  The y coordinate specified is the coordinate of the top of the control.  

Not all controls use justification.  The output controls and the RECTANGLE control do not use justification.

For slider controls the justification entry is used to determine orientation with V for vertical and H for horizontal.  This is discussed in more detail in "SLIDEVAR" below.
