A possible value for paragraph alignment. This specifies that the text aligned to the right indent and extra whitespace should be placed on the left.

o ALIGN_JUSTIFIED 
 public static final int ALIGN_JUSTIFIED
A possible value for paragraph alignment. This specifies that extra whitespace should be spread out through the rows of the paragraph with the text lined up with the left and right indent except on the last line which should be aligned to the left.
