Hi,

Is there a way to display a long line of text in more than one line? Like using (\n)

String A = “University of Greenwich (Greenwich Campus),Old Royal Naval College, Park Row, London SE10 9LS, 0844 576 6085”;

Instead of displaying like this:

University of Greenwich (Greenwich Campus),Old Royal Naval College, Park Row, London SE10 9LS, 0844 576 6085

Display like this:

University of Greenwich (Greenwich Campus),

Royal Naval College, Park Row, London SE10 9LS,

0844 576 6085

Either put in the line breaks manually in the String or use width and height with the text() display function.

Code Snippets

// option 1
String s = “University of Greenwich (Greenwich Campus),\nOld Royal Naval College, Park Row, London SE10 9LS,\n0844 576 6085”;
text(s, 20, 20);
// option 2
String s = “University of Greenwich (Greenwich Campus),Old Royal Naval College, Park Row, London SE10 9LS, 0844 576 6085”;
text(s, 20, 20, 300, 300); // or some width and height that you want
