		AT_Row row = asciiTable.addRow(str, str, str, str, str, str);

		row.getCells().get(0).getContext().setTextAlignment(TextAlignment.LEFT);
		row.getCells().get(1).getContext().setTextAlignment(TextAlignment.RIGHT);
		row.getCells().get(2).getContext().setTextAlignment(TextAlignment.CENTER);
		row.getCells().get(3).getContext().setTextAlignment(TextAlignment.JUSTIFIED);
		row.getCells().get(4).getContext().setTextAlignment(TextAlignment.JUSTIFIED_LEFT);
		row.getCells().get(5).getContext().setTextAlignment(TextAlignment.JUSTIFIED_RIGHT);
