Word wrap in java

[codestorm]

Does it exist.
I have to make some changes to someone else's little graph applet.
Part of the changes are to add word wrapping for some bits, and I was really hoping that Java has some word wrapping inbuilt somewhere.
Anyone?
Ideas?
(Or do I have to write something to break it into an array or some such)

Hi,
If u are using a JTextArea to display the text then u can use the setLineWrap(boolean wrap) method to specify word wrapping otherwise u will have to use ur own methods to get the desired effect. I am pasting the method's explanation for you.

setLineWrap(boolean wrap)
Sets the line-wrapping policy of the text area. If set to true the lines will be wrapped if they are too long to fit within the allocated width. If set to false, the lines will always be unwrapped.

Additionally u can specify if u want the lines to be wrapped at word boundaries or character boundaries by using the setWrapStyleWord(boolean word) method. I am pasting that also

public void setWrapStyleWord(boolean word)
Set the style of wrapping used if the text area is wrapping lines. If set to true the lines will be wrapped at word boundries (ie whitespace) if they are too long to fit within the allocated width. If set to false, the lines will be wrapped at character boundries.


Hope this helps,

Worked around it, thanks anyway. <insert witticism here>
