Class RtfTab

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Element, RtfBasicElement, RtfElementInterface
    public class RtfTab
extends RtfAddableElement
    The RtfTab encapsulates a tab position and tab type in a paragraph. To add tabs to a paragraph construct new RtfTab objects with the desired tab position and alignment and then add them to the paragraph. In the actual text the tabs are then defined as standard \t characters.

    RtfTab tab = new RtfTab(300, RtfTab.TAB_LEFT_ALIGN);
    Paragraph para = new Paragraph();
    para.add(tab);
    para.add("This paragraph has a\ttab defined.");
