Class TabStop

java.lang.Object
  javax.swing.text.TabStop

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class TabStop
extends Object
implements Serializable

Disabled: no SafeJ information.

This class encapsulates a single tab stop (basically as tab stops are thought of by RTF). A tab stop is at a specified distance from the left margin, aligns text in a specified way, and has a specified leader. TabStops are immutable, and usually contained in TabSets.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans^TM has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

Field Summary

static int	ALIGN_BAR
static int	ALIGN_CENTER Characters following tab are positioned such that all following characters up to next tab/newline are centered around the tabs location.
static int	ALIGN_DECIMAL Characters following tab are aligned such that next decimal/tab/newline is at the tab location, very similar to RIGHT_TAB, just includes decimal as additional character to look for.
static int	ALIGN_LEFT Character following tab is positioned at location.
static int	ALIGN_RIGHT Characters following tab are positioned such that all following characters up to next tab/newline end at location.
static int	LEAD_DOTS
static int	LEAD_EQUALS
static int	LEAD_HYPHENS
static int	LEAD_NONE
static int	LEAD_THICKLINE
static int	LEAD_UNDERLINE

Description copied from class: Object

Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the toString method returns a string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.

The toString method for class Object returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character `@', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of:

 getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
 

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

a string representation of the object.
