I am trying to word wrap a string into multiple lines. Every line will have a defined width.
For example, I would get this result if I word wrap it to an area of 120 pixels in width:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
List<string> lines = WrapText("Add some text", 300, "Calibri", 11);
foreach (var item in lines)
{
Console.WriteLine(item);
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
static List<string> WrapText(string text, double pixels, string fontFamily,
float emSize)
{
string[] originalLines = text.Split(new string[] { " " },
StringSplitOptions.None);
List<string> wrappedLines = new List<string>();
StringBuilder actualLine = new StringBuilder();
double actualWidth = 0;
foreach (var item in originalLines)
{
FormattedText formatted = new FormattedText(item,
CultureInfo.CurrentCulture,
System.Windows.FlowDirection.LeftToRight,
new Typeface(fontFamily), emSize, Brushes.Black);
actualLine.Append(item + " ");
actualWidth += formatted.Width;
if (actualWidth > pixels)
{
wrappedLines.Add(actualLine.ToString());
actualLine.Clear();
actualWidth = 0;
}
}
if(actualLine.Length > 0)
wrappedLines.Add(actualLine.ToString());
return wrappedLines;
}
Add WindowsBase
and PresentationCore
libraries.
