Class TabSet

java.lang.Object

javax.swing.text.TabSet

All Implemented Interfaces:: Serializable

public class TabSet extends Object implements Serializable

A TabSet is comprised of many TabStops. It offers methods for locating the closest TabStop to a given position and finding all the potential TabStops. It is also immutable.

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 has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

public int getTabIndexAfter(float location)

Returns the index of the Tab to be used after location. This will return -1 if there are no tabs after location.

Parameters:: location - location to find a Tab after
Returns:: the index of the Tab to be used after location

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Indicates whether this TabSet is equal to another one.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

o - the TabSet instance which this instance should be compared to.

Returns:

true if o is the instance of TabSet, has the same number of TabStops and they are all equal, false otherwise.

Since:

1.5

See Also:

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hashcode for this set of TabStops.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

a hashcode value for this set of TabStops.

Since:

1.5
