Description

The function wrap-text-for-pane takes a string text and returns a list of strings. Together the strings in strings contain all the non-whitespace characters of text and are suitable for displaying this text on pane . That is, each string has a display width no greater than the width of pane when drawn using the font of pane . The arguments start and end are used as bounding index designators for text and characters outside these bounds are ignored.

If visible-width is non-nil then text is wrapped to that width. Otherwise, if external-width is non-nil then text is wrapped as if the pane had that external width (that is, taking account of any borders in the pane). If both visible-width and external-width are nil , then the text is wrapped to the current visible width of the pane. The default value of both visible-width and external-width is nil .

The font is used to perform the wrapping calculations. If it is nil (the default), then the graphics-state-font is used for panes such as output-pane that have a graphics-state and the simple-pane-font is used for other panes.
