setLeftIndent() is not indenting left side of paragr, as it says in docs..

only two left-indent methods under StyleConstants:

setFirstLineIndent(MutableAttributeSet a, float i) and
setLeftIndent(MutableAttributeSet a, float i)

used setLeftIndent(), but it's being ignored.. left side of paragr is
not being indented..
(also, what kind of value is 'float'? points, pixels, inches? it
doesn't say what unit of measurement, is there a general rule for this?
I tried up to 50, it still won't indent paragraph..)

thank you very much..

Do you have to do some sort of selection first?
It is up to do to issue a repaint after your command fiddlings?

I am not familiar with using these commands.

thank you Roedy... I don't think I can actually use this method.. I
think it would indent entire paragraph.. I need all lines indented
EXCEPT first line.. this method probably wouldn't do that.. (I
probably would have to write my own method to achieve this.. which would
probably take me about a week....;)
