TextColumnCollection (Aspose.Words for Java API Reference)

java.lang.Object
- com.aspose.words.TextColumnCollection

```
public class TextColumnCollection
extends java.lang.Object
```
A collection of TextColumn objects that represent all the columns of text in a section of a document.
Use setCount(int) to set the number of text columns.

To make all columns equal width and spaced evenly, set getEvenlySpaced() / setEvenlySpaced(boolean) to true and specify the amount of space between the columns in getSpacing() / setSpacing(double). MS Word will automatically calculate column widths.

If you have EvenlySpaced set to false, you need to specify width and spacing for each column individually. Use the indexer to access individual TextColumn objects.

When using custom column widths, make sure the sum of all column widths and spacings between them equals page width minus left and right page margins.

- Method Detail
  - setCount
```
public void setCount(int newCount)
```
    Arranges text into the specified number of text columns.
    When getEvenlySpaced() / setEvenlySpaced(boolean) is false and you increase the number of columns, new TextColumn objects are created with zero width and spacing. You need to set width and spacing for the new columns.
    
    Parameters:
    
    newCount - The number of columns the text is to be arranged into.
  - getEvenlySpaced
```
public boolean getEvenlySpaced()
```
    True if text columns are of equal width and evenly spaced.
    
    Returns:
    
    The corresponding boolean value.
  - setEvenlySpaced
```
public void setEvenlySpaced(boolean value)
```
    True if text columns are of equal width and evenly spaced.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - The corresponding boolean value.
  - getSpacing
```
public double getSpacing()
```
    When columns are evenly spaced, gets or sets the amount of space between each column in points. Has effect only when getEvenlySpaced() / setEvenlySpaced(boolean) is set to true.
    
    Returns:
    
    The corresponding double value.
  - setSpacing
```
public void setSpacing(double value)
```
    When columns are evenly spaced, gets or sets the amount of space between each column in points. Has effect only when getEvenlySpaced() / setEvenlySpaced(boolean) is set to true.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - The corresponding double value.
  - getWidth
```
public double getWidth()
```
    When columns are evenly spaced, gets the width of the columns.
    Has effect only when getEvenlySpaced() / setEvenlySpaced(boolean) is set to true.
    
    Returns:
    
    The corresponding double value.
  - getLineBetween
```
public boolean getLineBetween()
```
    When true, adds a vertical line between columns.
    
    Returns:
    
    The corresponding boolean value.
  - setLineBetween
```
public void setLineBetween(boolean value)
```
    When true, adds a vertical line between columns.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - The corresponding boolean value.
  - getCount
```
public int getCount()
```
    Gets the number of columns in the section of a document.
    
    Returns:
    
    The number of columns in the section of a document.
  - get
```
public TextColumn get(int index)
```
    Returns a text column at the specified index.
    
    Returns:
    
    A text column at the specified index.
