Tab stops

The following example shows how to define custom tab stops in a paragraph style.

import com.independentsoft.office.odf.Paragraph;
import com.independentsoft.office.odf.TextDocument;
import com.independentsoft.office.odf.styles.ParagraphStyle;
import com.independentsoft.office.odf.styles.TabStop;
import com.independentsoft.office.odf.styles.TabStopType;

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            TextDocument doc = new TextDocument();

            TabStop tab1 = new TabStop();
            tab1.setPosition("50mm");
            tab1.setType(TabStopType.LEFT);

            TabStop tab2 = new TabStop();
            tab2.setPosition("100mm");
            tab2.setType(TabStopType.RIGHT);

            ParagraphStyle style1 = new ParagraphStyle("P1");
            style1.getParagraphProperties().getTabStops().add(tab1);
            style1.getParagraphProperties().getTabStops().add(tab2);
            doc.getAutomaticStyles().getStyles().add(style1);

            Paragraph p1 = new Paragraph();
            p1.setStyle("P1");
            p1.add("Left");
            p1.addTab();
            p1.add("Middle");
            p1.addTab();
            p1.add("Right");
            doc.getBody().add(p1);

            doc.save("c:\\test\\output.odt", true);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
