Number of tabs to be set.

Position of the first tab. The following constants are available:

For example, RULER_ONE_CENTIMETER * 2 for two centimeters or RULER_ONE_INCH * 0.75 for three-quarters of an inch.

Interval between tabs. The following constants are available:
• RichTextParagraphStyle.RULER_ONE_CENTIMETER

You can apply arithmetic to the position and interval constants to obtain other measurements. For example, RULER_ONE_CENTIMETER * 2 for two centimeters or (int)(RULER_ONE_INCH * 0.75) for three-quarters of an inch. The actual int value is in "twips," where one centimeter is 567 twips and one inch is 1440 twips.
