Text Wrapping in Shapes

Hi Stoyo,

we would like to implement a better wrapping mechanism for different shapes. At the moment, neigther wrapAtCharacter nor noWrap does really fit.

We would like to implement a "new" wrapAtCharacter function. This function should only be taken into account, if the whole word is bigger then the related line.

Do you have any suggestions how to solve our problem?

Thank you in advance,
Alex

Hi Alex,

You could use custom drawing to render the text by calling Graphics2D.drawString. Alternatively, keep the original text in a separate field and insert new-line symbols in the Text value where you'd like it to wrap. TextFormat.NoWrap should be enabled in that case so that the node wrapping function does no insert additional breaks.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan

Hi Stoyo,

thank you for your quick response!

Isnīt there a possibility to directly change the wrapping mechanism in the TextLayout class? There are different procedures to render in elipses or rectangles. Is it possible to add a check like "do only wrap at character if the word is longer then the complete line"?

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,

There is no direct way to change it using the public API. It seems our .NET control always wraps long words when they wouldn't fit on a line, I suppose we can port that to Java for the next release.
