Quote:My first problem is that in the statment
text(string, position x, position y, size in x, size in y)
how do I determine (size in x) and (size in y) ?
you don't have to
determine those values, you have to
set them! if you specify those two last parameters, your text should wrap in a rectangle :
Code:text("this text should fit in a square of dim: 50x50)", 10, 10, 50, 50);
Quote:I need to calculate how many alphabets will fit in the given rectangle.
You can calculate how much pixels a text will need by using the
textWidth() method (see reference).

But it only works with inline text, and since yours is going to be wrapped, it's not so handy (unless you can tell/calculate where the text lines are going to break).
