This element specifies the minimum spacing between the edge of one column and the corresponding edge of the adjacent column. Additional spacing can be added to enhance appearance. If this element is omitted, the default is column spacing is '0'. [Example: The following matrix specifies that there should never be fewer than 6 pts. between adjacent column edges:

<m:mPr>
<m:cSp m:val="120"/>
<m:mcs>
<m:mc>
<m:mcPr>
<m:mcJc m:val="center"/>
<m:count m:val="2"/>
</m:mcPr>
</m:mc>
</m:mcs>
</m:mPr>

end example]

Description

val (Value)

Specifies the amount of space between the parent element. The manner in which this value is determined depends on the setting of the rule of the parent element. If the rule is set to 3 (or "Exactly"), then the unit is interpreted as points. If the rule is set to 4 (or "Multiple"), then the unit is interpreted as lines.

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_UnSignedInteger simple type (§7.1.3.17).
