### AlignOffset

Align SkyFrames using the offset coordinate system?

#### Description:

This attribute is a boolean value which controls how a SkyFrame behaves when it is used (by astFindFrame or astConvert) as a template to match another (target) SkyFrame. It determines the coordinate system in which the two SkyFrames are aligned if a match occurs.

If the template and target SkyFrames both have defined offset coordinate systems (i.e. the SkyRefIs attribute is set to either " Origin" or " Pole" ), and they both have a non-zero value for AlignOffset, then alignment occurs within the offset coordinate systems (that is, a UnitMap will always be used to align the two SkyFrames). If either the template or target SkyFrame has zero (the default value) for AlignOffset, or if either SkyFrame has SkyRefIs set to " Ignored" , then alignment occurring within the coordinate system specified by the AlignSystem attribute.

Type:
Integer (boolean).

#### Applicability

##### SkyFrame
All SkyFrames have this attribute.
