How to measure height of text that is presented by single String and limited by width, so it'd be multiline?

Question

I am going to draw multiline text. Text is limited by width, it wouldn't fit there, so I'd like to how many lines would be there, i.e. I need height of rectangle. I have font variable in Java. How can I do that?

are you using monospaced fonts? if so, you can look at your wrapper that how many characters on line 1 appears. then you can split your whole text to that number. this may give you the line numbers. — Muhammet Can, Nov 26 '12 at 06:54

Try this http://java-sl.com/tip_text_height_measuring.html it works if you reflect the text in JEditorPane/JTextPane.

There's a related `TextLayout` example [here](http://stackoverflow.com/a/8282330/230513). – trashgod Nov 26 '12 at 11:06
