public class TabStopCollection 
extends InternableComplexAttr

A collection of TabStop objects that represent custom tabs for a paragraph or a style.

In Microsoft Word documents, a tab stop can be defined in the properties of a paragraph style or directly in the properties of a paragraph. A style can be based on another style. Therefore, the complete set of tab stops for a given object is a combination of tab stops defined directly on this object and tab stops inherited from the parent styles.

In Aspose.Words, when you obtain a TabStops collection for a paragraph or a style, it contains only the custom tab stops defined directly for this paragraph or style. The collection does not include tab stops defined in the parent styles or default tab stops.

Example:

Shows how to add tab stops to a document.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Access the collection of tab stops and add some tab stops to it
TabStopCollection tabStops = builder.getParagraphFormat().getTabStops();

// 72 points is one "inch" on the Microsoft Word tab stop ruler
tabStops.add(new TabStop(72.0));
tabStops.add(new TabStop(432.0, TabAlignment.RIGHT, TabLeader.DASHES));

Assert.assertEquals(tabStops.getCount(), 2);
Assert.assertFalse(tabStops.get(0).isClear());
Assert.assertFalse(tabStops.get(0).equals(tabStops.get(1)));

builder.writeln("Start\tTab 1\tTab 2");

// Get the collection of paragraphs that we've created
ParagraphCollection paragraphs = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getParagraphs();
Assert.assertEquals(paragraphs.getCount(), 2);

// Each paragraph gets its own TabStopCollection which gets values from the DocumentBuilder's collection
Assert.assertEquals(paragraphs.get(0).getParagraphFormat().getTabStops(), paragraphs.get(1).getParagraphFormat().getTabStops());
Assert.assertNotSame(paragraphs.get(0).getParagraphFormat().getTabStops(), paragraphs.get(1).getParagraphFormat().getTabStops());
Assert.assertNotEquals(paragraphs.get(0).getParagraphFormat().getTabStops().hashCode(),
        paragraphs.get(1).getParagraphFormat().getTabStops().hashCode());

// A TabStopCollection can point us to TabStops before and after certain positions
Assert.assertEquals(72.0, tabStops.before(100.0).getPosition());
Assert.assertEquals(432.0, tabStops.after(100.0).getPosition());

        // Remove the old tab from the collection.
        para.getParagraphFormat().getTabStops().removeByPosition(tab.getPosition());
        // Insert a new tab using the same properties but at a modified position.
        // We could also change the separators used (dots) by passing a different Leader type
