I am using a Multi column JTextPane. Everything is working fine but I also want to add some space after each column in JtextPane to improve the readability of the text in the Jtextpane. In my current project, it is unable to differenciate between text of two columns. I am unable to find out where the changes would be done? The Main Classes for Multicolum, I am using are:-
// MultiColumnView Class
public class MultiColumnView extends BoxView
{
//default width for columns
int columnWidth=200;
//default height (could be changed to be JTextPane's height)
int columnHeight=100;
//children (paragraphs) offsets and spans and horizontal/vertical sizes
int majorTargetSpan=0;
int[] majorOffsets=null;
int[] majorSpans=null;
int minorTargetSpan=0;
int[] minorOffsets=null;
int[] minorSpans=null;
//starting positions of paragraph views
Point[] starts;
//cont of columns
int columnCount=1;
