I'm using jtextlayout_set (with no particular justification flag), setting the text rectangle to have a certain width and a certain height.

Yet, if I give "too much text", the text overflows the given height, and continues adding lines on lines, whereas I'd like only to have text within the rectangle I have given (even though this won't be the whole text).

Is there a way I achieve this? Or am I the only one having this issue?

My problem is that JGRAPHICS_TEXTLAYOUT_USEELLIPSIS unfortunately automatically implies JGRAPHICS_TEXTLAYOUT_NOWRAP, so your code (I might be wrong) seems to be ok for 1-line-texts.

Can't use ellipsis AND use multiple lines at the same time?

And even if I can't use proper ellipsis, I'd just like to have the text on multiple lines, but with no text painted outside the rectangle I give...

But maybe I misunderstood your suggestion?

Gosh! Cutting by hand the string is definitely possible, but not very funny.

Firstly because the textfields automatically do what I need (but I cannot use a textfield): thus, I suppose there might be a chance to achieve it by API. Secondly because as a general principle, it would be advisable that nothing is drawn outside the given boxes (otherwise, there's no real need to give a height to the box)...

If anybody has a suggestion, we would both be happy people then! :-)
