Class RtfTab

java.lang.Object
com.lowagie.text.Chunk
com.lowagie.text.rtf.RtfAddableElement
com.lowagie.text.rtf.text.RtfTab
All Implemented Interfaces:
com.lowagie.text.Element, RtfBasicElement
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.");
