NSParagraphStyleMBS.alignment as Integer

dim n as NSParagraphStyleMBS = NSParagraphStyleMBS.defaultParagraphStyle
MsgBox str(n.alignment) // 4 = natural

dim m as NSMutableParagraphStyleMBS = n.mutableCopy
m.setAlignment NSParagraphStyleMBS.NSCenterTextAlignment
MsgBox str(m.alignment) // 2 = center

Natural text alignment is realized as left or right alignment depending on the line sweep direction of the first script contained in the paragraph.

NSParagraphStyleMBS.baseWritingDirection as Integer

(Read only property)

NSParagraphStyleMBS.defaultTabInterval as Double

The default tab interval in points. Tabs after the last specified in tabStops are placed at integer multiples of this distance (if positive). Default return value is 0.0.
(Read only property)

NSParagraphStyleMBS.firstLineHeadIndent as Double

The distance in points from the leading margin of a text container to the beginning of the paragraph's first line. This value is always nonnegative.

NSParagraphStyleMBS.firstTextList as NSTextListMBS

NSParagraphStyleMBS.Handle as Integer

(Read and Write property)

NSParagraphStyleMBS.headerLevel as Integer

Returns 0 (the default value), if the paragraph is not a header, or from 1 through 6 if the paragraph is to be treated as a header.
(Read only property)

NSParagraphStyleMBS.headIndent as Double

The distance in points from the leading margin of a text container to the beginning of lines other than the first. This value is always nonnegative.
(Read only property)

NSParagraphStyleMBS.hyphenationFactor as Double

A value between 0.0 and 1.0 inclusive. The default value is 0.0.

Hyphenation is attempted when the ratio of the text width (as broken without hyphenation) to the width of the line fragment is less than the hyphenation factor. When the paragraph's hyphenation factor is 0.0, the layout manager's hyphenation factor is used instead. When both are 0.0, hyphenation is disabled.

NSParagraphStyleMBS.lineBreakMode as Integer

The line break mode to be used laying out the paragraph's text.
(Read only property)

NSParagraphStyleMBS.lineHeightMultiple as Double

The line height multiple. The natural line height of the receiver is multiplied by this factor (if positive) before being constrained by minimum and maximum line height. Default return value is 0.0.
(Read only property)

NSParagraphStyleMBS.lineSpacing as Double

The space in points added between lines within the paragraph. This value is always nonnegative.
(Read only property)

NSParagraphStyleMBS.maximumLineHeight as Double

The maximum height in points that any line in the receiver will occupy, regardless of the font size or size of any attached graphic. This value is always nonnegative. The default value is 0.

Glyphs and graphics exceeding this height will overlap neighboring lines; however, a maximum height of 0 implies no line height limit. Although this limit applies to the line itself, line spacing adds extra space between adjacent lines.
(Read only property)

NSParagraphStyleMBS.minimumLineHeight as Double

The minimum height in points that any line in the receiver will occupy, regardless of the font size or size of any attached graphic. This value is always nonnegative.
(Read only property)

NSParagraphStyleMBS.paragraphSpacing as Double

The space in points added at the end of the paragraph to separate it from the following paragraph. This value is always nonnegative.

This value is determined by adding the previous paragraph's paragraphSpacing and the current paragraph's paragraphSpacingBefore.
(Read only property)

NSParagraphStyleMBS.paragraphSpacingBefore as Double

The distance in points between the paragraph's top and the beginning of its text content. Default return value is 0.0.
(Read only property)

NSParagraphStyleMBS.tailIndent as Double

The distance in points from the margin of a text container to the end of lines.

If positive, this value is the distance from the leading margin (for example, the left margin in left-to-right text). If 0 or negative, it's the distance from the trailing margin.

For example, a paragraph style designed to fit exactly in a 2-inch wide container has a head indent of 0.0 and a tail indent of 0.0. One designed to fit with a quarter-inch margin has a head indent of 0.25 and a tail indent of –0.25.
(Read only property)

NSParagraphStyleMBS.tighteningFactorForTruncation as Double

The tightening threshold value. The default value is 0.05.

When the line break mode specifies truncation, the text system attempts to tighten intercharacter spacing as an alternative to truncation, provided that the ratio of the text width to the line fragment width does not exceed 1.0 + the tightening factor returned by this method. Otherwise the text is truncated at a location determined by the line break mode.
