Remarks

A specialized class that specifies the leading, "the vertical distance between the baselines of adjacent lines of text" (ISO-32000-1, section 9.3.5). Allows to use either an absolute (constant) leading value, or one determined by font size. Pronounce as 'ledding' (cfr. Led Zeppelin). This class is meant to be used as the value for the LEADING key in an IPropertyContainer.

Constructors

Leading(int, float)

Creates a Leading object.
