Hi,

i must display some text in a ShapeNode, this text is too long to show this in a Node. There are no blancs in this Text an i can't use any line breaks.
The Node dont't diaplay any Text, it is empty!

I think i need a word-cut-methode, better a function wich calculate me the length in px for the Text so that i can cut this Text (with ... at the end).

Is there any solutions for this?

greeting
Henry

hi,

i don't want do brake the words, i want to cut the words on this point.
If i don't cut, the ShapeNode draws me nothing, no Text is to see if it larger tha the free space. I must use one word.
I have looked that i can calculate how many chars can i place in my box, but i need the FontRenderContext for this option an i dont have it.

private String trimToPx(String iText, ShapeNode iNode) {
  Rectangle2D bounds =
    bNode.getFont().getStringBounds(iText, <here i need the FontRenderContex>);
  while (iNode.getBounds().width < bounds.getWidth()) {
    iText = iText.substring(1,iText.length()-1);
    bounds =
      bNode.getFont().getStringBounds(iText+"...", <here i need the FontRenderContex>);
  }
  return iText;
}
