Re: [pygame] Good code for text wrapping?
awesome :) yeah, maybe some text layout code would be a useful addition to pygame.font ? Or even as a separate download. Shall we start by making an ultimate list of features, or use cases... - aligning text, left, right, center etc. - vertical alignment... top, bottom, center. - justify text. - breaking words (word-break), so it can add a long word like complexifcation as complexif-\ncation - splitting text up into 'pages', - different sized pages or Rects could be useful too. - scrolling text. - selecting text. Based on mouse click, which letter and word does it collide with? - each part of text having a separate font/attributes. So you can then do words with bold, italics etc. - letter spacing - line spacing - word spacing - flowing around areas... - eg( place an image, and the text flows around it) - example here: http://www.csstextwrap.com/example_for_demo.php - indenting - padding around text. - text color - text render method.

Eventually, you'll want: - text flow other than left-right (right-left, mixed, top-down) - support for non-letter fonts (e.g. button glyphs for help text) -- although I suppose you could handle it by something you described, flowing text around images, if the images could be floated as well - support for non-breaking spaces and hyphens - proper handling of line-breaking in different languages (e.g., French inserts a space or two between the last letter of a sentence and a final exclamation point, don't want to break there, some languages consider certain combinations of letters to really be only one, can't break in between them, etc.) - proper support for full Unicode fonts But this is a bit pie-in-the-sky, it can wait until the basics are in, I just have text processing on the brain a bit lately :) =wl -- The whole fist fight is over who gets locked up and thrown rudely to the ground and tied into little greasy knots. -- Chas Clements
