How to wrap label text? [message #16251]

Hi,

is there a way how to force label to wrap its text (supposing the label
figure is a child figure of a rectangle)? Here's what I get - one line label
with truncated text:
------------------
| text1 text2 te...|
------------------
Here's what I'd like to get - "multilined" label.
------------------
| text1 text2 |
| text3
------------------
Or is this a problem of layout manager?

Another question - as Label figure corresponds to SWT Label control, is
there is a figure corresponding to SWT Text control?

Thanks!

Tomas

This is not possible with the Label figure. You can insert newlines in the
text, but not automatic wrapping.

We have some figures that are not released that perform this function. Are
you interested in helping us test and polish these classes? There are
layout inconsistencies which need to be resolved.

First, you should probably subscribe to the GEF mailing list if you haven't
done so already.

We are renaming the packages tonight, and moving all future development into
the eclipse CVS server.

It's not clear to me how "sandbox" development is supposed to be done. We
don't want people coding against classes before they are considered stable.
For now, I will place the Text figures in the Draw2D Test project. It is a
small set of Figures and layouts, and a test class that is runnable.

In the HEAD stream, load org.eclipse.draw2d.test.
You could optionally load draw2d as source (or import as binary project),
and you will need SWT as well.

Run the FlowDemo class. The current problems have to do with calculation of
the scrollbars. I think I know what the problems are.
