Google wasn’t awfully helpful while I was searching for solution to word wrapping a text when drawing in Java, so let’s teach Google this: 😉
private void drawStringRect(Graphics2D graphics, int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2,
float interline, String txt) {
AttributedString as = new AttributedString(txt);
as.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FOREGROUND, graphics.getPaint());
as.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FONT, graphics.getFont());
AttributedCharacterIterator aci = as.getIterator();
FontRenderContext frc = new FontRenderContext(null, true, false);
LineBreakMeasurer lbm = new LineBreakMeasurer(aci, frc);
float width = x2 - x1;
while (lbm.getPosition() < txt.length()) {
TextLayout tl = lbm.nextLayout(width);
y1 += tl.getAscent();
tl.draw(graphics, x1, y1);
y1 += tl.getDescent() + tl.getLeading() + (interline - 1.0f) * tl.getAscent();
if (y1 > y2) {
break;
}
}
}
