Position of the tab. The following constants are available:

The unit of measure used by the above constants is a "twip," where one centimeter is 567 twips and one inch is 1440 twips. You can apply arithmetic to the constants to obtain other measurements. For example, RULER_ONE_CENTIMETER * 2 for two centimeters or RULER_ONE_INCH * 0.75 for three-quarters of an inch.

• RichTextParagraphStyle.TAB_CENTER
• RichTextParagraphStyle.TAB_DECIMAL

You can apply arithmetic to the position 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.
