{
Here is an example that prints columns that are right, left, and center
justified. There are headers, footers, and, generally, a bunch o' things
here. This app encapsulates functionality to print text, lines, boxes
and shaded boxes. Text can be left or right justified and centered.
Columns can be created and text can be left or right justified within the
columns or text can be centered. Lines of any thickness can be drawn.
Boxes can be drawn with any thickness. The boxes can be shaded if desired.
Headers and footers can be created and the header/footer areas can be shaded
if desired. Page numbering can contain custom text and can be placed
anywhere desired.
