Defined in

RichTextParagraphStyle

Syntax

public void setTabs(int count, int startpos, int interval)
    throws NotesException
public void setTabs(int count, int startpos, int interval, int type)
    throws NotesException

Parameters

int count

Number of tabs to be set.

int startpos

Position of the first tab. The following constants are available:

  • RichTextParagraphStyle.RULER_ONE_CENTIMETER
  • RichTextParagraphStyle.RULER_ONE_INCH

The unit of measure used by the preceding constants is a "twip," where one centimeter is 567 twips and one inch is 1440 twips. You can apply arithmetic to the constants to obtain other measurements. For example, RULER_ONE_CENTIMETER * 2 for two centimeters or RULER_ONE_INCH * 0.75 for three-quarters of an inch.

int interval

Interval between tabs. The following constants are available:

  • RichTextParagraphStyle.RULER_ONE_CENTIMETER
  • RichTextParagraphStyle.RULER_ONE_INCH

The unit of measure used by the preceding constants is a "twip," where one centimeter is 567 twips and one inch is 1440 twips. You can apply arithmetic to the constants to obtain other measurements. For example, RULER_ONE_CENTIMETER * 2 for two centimeters or RULER_ONE_INCH * 0.75 for three-quarters of an inch.

int type
  • RichTextParagraphStyle.TAB_CENTER
  • RichTextParagraphStyle.TAB_DECIMAL
  • RichTextParagraphStyle.TAB_LEFT
  • RichTextParagraphStyle.TAB_RIGHT

Usage

See RichTextTab for additional information and an example.

You can apply arithmetic to the position and interval constants to obtain other measurements. For example, RULER_ONE_CENTIMETER * 2 for two centimeters or (int)(RULER_ONE_INCH * 0.75) for three-quarters of an inch. The actual int value is in "twips," where one centimeter is 567 twips and one inch is 1440 twips.
