How do I control the amount of indentation for a JTree?

I have found documentation for properties "Tree.leftChildIndent"
and "Tree.rightTreeIndent" that is confusing to me as to what
they do. The documentation for leftChildIndent says:

      This plus Tree.rightChildIndent account for the 
      total space, along the y axis, to offset nodes 
      from their parent. 

I don't understand this. Indentation is horizontal (along the 
x axis, not y).

Regardless, I tried setting either or both of these properties
with no effect.
