Class com.sun.java.swing.text.TabSet

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--com.sun.java.swing.text.TabSet

public class TabSet

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.io.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 Swing1.0 applications. It will not be possible to load serialized Swing1.0 objects with future releases of Swing. The JDK1.2 release of Swing will be the compatibility baseline for the serialized form of Swing objects.
