## javax.swing.text
Class TabSet

    java.lang.Object
      |
      +--javax.swing.text.TabSet

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable

public class TabSet
extends Object
implements Serializable

A TabSet is comprised of many TabStops. It offers methods for locating the closest TabStop to a given position and finding all the potential TabStops. It is also immutable.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeansTM has been added to the `java.beans` package. Please see `XMLEncoder`.

`int` | `getTabCount()` Returns the number of Tab instances the receiver contains.
`int` | `getTabIndex(TabStop tab)`
`int` | `getTabIndexAfter(float location)` Returns the index of the Tab to be used after `location`.
