Renders:

Anyone know a simpler / cleaner way to do something like this:

without having to use String[]like this?

int textHeight = 80;

for(int i = 0; i < lines.length; i++) {
pushMatrix();
translate(0, i * textHeight);
font.draw(lines[i]);
popMatrix();
}
}

Hi jonobr1,

Unfortunately there is no better way to do this. I have not implemented multiple line support in Geomerative. Layouting is quite a big topic, and I have been looking at it lately but don't know if I will find the time to dive into it.

So in the meantime, your method is the only one to do this.

Nah, no worries! I figured I'd ask because there was such an easy way around the last question I had :D

Thanks, the library is wonderful!

Don't worry, these questions are good for me. They let me know what users would like to see in Geomrative.

cheers

there is also the option of using SVG to layout multiple line of text. Geomerative parses SVGs nicely (built for example by Adobe Illustrator).
