It’s actually the x axis labels on a column chart. I currently have them
truncating but thought I could have them enlarge the field height. The width is
decided by the column width. LC rotate widget is not a solution as its not
complete and unreliable.
I am currently trying canvasjs charts in
Right, removing characters from the end until it fits is the only way I
know of. It's faster if you use the templateField and measureText.

In order for this to work you should also take into consideration various rules
for hyphenating words in the appropriate language. As these rules varies
between languages, this can become a very complex function. If the text that
goes into the field is static then I would either reduce the font
I presume therefore that the only way to resolve a single long word in a field
would be to have a repeat loop removing characters from the end until it fits
then insert a cr and put the characters removed on the new line

What Klaus said is true, but this still all depends on the state of the
“dontWrap” property. If “true” text will run on forever, regardless of whether
a particular line contains spaces or not.
So what is the state of that property in your field?
Anyway, a little playing around with dontWrap

Hi.
Sorry, it is "dontWrap", not "donttWrap".
The field is not truncating, except visually. The text runs out the right side
of the field's visible extent. Setting the "dontWrap" to false will force the
field to wrap the text. You must remember that this is not the same as adding
carriage
Check out the “donttWrap” and “formattedWidth” properties.

If you have a field with one long word that is wider than the field it does not
wrap, it truncates.
Is there a solution to this?
Thanks
