Document undocumented text wrapping algorithms #103

Open ghost opened 4 years ago

Sometimes it is wanted to replicate behavior of a GUI controls in AGS, in how they wrap text. (for instance you want to precalculate future text height and set label's height appropriately).

This is nowhere documented, and may require research in the engine code.

Something I remember:

[x] - GUI labels add 1 pixel to the regular font's line spacing value.
[ ] - See this: https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=54501.0
[x] - GetTextHeight bug: https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=36567

Mentioned GetTextHeight mistake in its article.

Also documented GUI Label behavior, although it's deprecated since 3.6.0.
