public class RMParagraph
extends com.reportmill.base.RMObject
```
This class represents attributes of a paragraph in an RMXString (all of the characters up to and including each newline in an RMXString make up a paragraph). Paragraphs can have their own alignment, indentation, min/max line height, etc. You might use this class like this:
```
   RMParagraph pgraph = RMParagraph.defaultParagraph.deriveAligned(RMParagraph.ALIGN_RIGHT);
   RMXString xstring = new RMXString("Hello World", pgraph);
```
