RTF: Left indent. Specifies the left indent of all lines of a new paragraph.

void VpeSetLeftIndent(

VpeHandle hDoc,

VpeCoord indent

)

VpeHandle hDoc

Document Handle

VpeCoord indent

the left indent

Default:

0

Remarks:

The left indent is relative to the left border of the object’s rectangle. For example: VpeSetLeftIndent(hDoc, 2) means, that the left margin is set to:

[left border of object rectangle] + 2 cm

 

The first-line indent and the left indent are used together (they are added) for the first line. To gain a hanging indent, specify for the first-line indent the negative value of the left indent, which accumulates to zero then.

Example:

VpeSetFirstIndent(hDoc, -1)

VpeSetLeftIndent(hDoc, 1)

Will result in a paragraph formatting like this:

This is the first line and

this is the second line and

this is the third line
