```
public class Leading
extends java.lang.Object
```
A specialized class that specifies the leading, "the vertical distance between the baselines of adjacent lines of text" (ISO-32000-1, section 9.3.5). Allows to use either an absolute (constant) leading value, or one determined by font size. Pronounce as 'ledding' (cfr. Led Zeppelin). This class is meant to be used as the value for the Property.LEADING key in an IPropertyContainer.
