word-wraped text on texture

http://www.chronotext.org/bits/033
source code: http://www.chronotext.org/bits/033/text_buffer_1.java
this bit of code is:
- taking some multiline text (from a string or a text file)
- word-wrapping it (like in Word: word-break, hyphen-break, long-lines-break and correct white space treatment)
- displaying it onto a BImage(), with width, height and margins parameters...
but why drawing text onto a BImage() (or any int[] array in general)
for (scrollable) text getting mapped on arbitrary volumes, of course, like in:
http://proce55ing.net/discourse/yabb/board_Contribution_Respons_ive_action_display_num_1058437862.html
technical features:
- hijacking of the vlw font system (doesn't work with FranklinGothic, and maybe other fonts)...
- erasing & writing of the text in one single pass
- robust text-clipping and word-wrapping behaviors at extreme sizes...
todos:
- "virtual scrolling" algorithm, to get things run even faster in some cases...
- eventually switch to "bdf" fonts when they're implemented in processing...

excelent, it works very well. a great choice of texts, too!
actually, this reminds me of the spinning logo for the 4-corners news program we get here; also a metaphor for the headspace theories of interpretative viewing experience.
