# FormatValue - AS3

Package | flashx.textLayout.formats
Class | public final class FormatValue
Inheritance | FormatValue Object

Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Defines values for specifying that a formatting property is to inherit its parent's value or have it's value generated automatically. The `INHERIT` constant specifies that a property inherits its parent's value while the `AUTO` constant specifies that an internal algorithm automatically determine the property's value. As one example, you can set `TextLayoutFormat.columnWidth` using these values. Typically, a property's description indicates whether it accepts these constants.
