word-wrap

I read on a website that there is a way of wrapping text around non-rectangular shapes but somehow I don't know how to do it, Now I found this link from a question posted here about 3 years ago, things have changed thenso if there is an easier way to do it, that would be great. Here is the visual example to give more of an idea and the url of the website explaining how to do it, but as I said this is about 3 years old. http://www.torylawson.com/mw_index.php?title=CSS_-_Wrapping_text_around_non-rectangular_shapes Today, there is not much option if you want this effect cross-browser and

Once I was reading an awesome C++ FAQ (It is really good!!) and read the topic about how to prevent the static initialization order "fiasco". So the author advises to wrap the static variables into functions, thus to prevent the "fiasco" by maintaining the creation order of variables. But this seems to me a rude workaround. So my question is, is there any modern, more pattern oriented way to prevent this "fiasco" but to wrap the "static stuff" into functions???

Here's a mb_wordwrap by Sam B. : <?php /** * Multibyte capable wordwrap * * @param string $str * @param int $width * @param string $break * @return string */ function mb_wordwrap($str, $width=74, $break="\r\n") { // Return short or empty strings untouched if(empty($str) || mb_strlen($str, 'UTF-8') <

How would I go about toggling text wrap on a JTextpane ? public JFrame mainjFrame = new JFrame("Text Editor"); public JTextPane mainJTextPane = new JTextPane(); public JScrollPane mainJScrollPane = new JScrollPane(mainJTextPane); mainjFrame.add(mainJScrollPane); See No Wrap Text Pane . Edit: Well, if you want to toggle the behaviour, then you would also need to toggle the getScrollableTracksViewportWidth() value. See Scrollable Panel . You should be able to toggle between FIT and STRETCH. package test; import java.awt.BorderLayout; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JFrame; import
