Box and the text inside

Hi,

I have two questions in this post.

1. When names grow beyond the displayable size, the name disappears. Can this be changed to show part of the name?

2. Given a String to be displayed as the text of a box, can the width the string would need be determined? This way, we can resize the box to fit the string.

Thanks,
Praveen

Hi,

1. Currently that's not possible.

2. You could call the Box.resizeToFitText method.

Hi,

For the first question,

I have the source code of your project. Can you suggest me any way I can modify the source to make the text wrap inside the box. This can save me some time finding out on my own. Smiley

Thanks,
Praveen

Hi,

You must modify TextLayout.java to prevent the text layout algorithm from breaking the lines of text into words (where lines are the substrings delimited by new-line characters). I.e. create a single Word object for each line. Then before drawing the text in the Box.renderText method set a clipping region that matches the box shape, so that text lines are clipped when they are larger than the available space.
