For a given Paragraph par, the attribute par.chars is a VGroup containing all the lines. In this context, every line is constructed as a VGroup of characters contained in the line.

Parameters:

• line_spacing (float) – Represents the spacing between lines. Defaults to -1, which means auto.

• alignment (str | None) – Defines the alignment of paragraph. Defaults to None. Possible values are “left”, “right” or “center”.
