Text tool : multiline #346

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It may be useful to allow multiline support on the Text tool:
1) Allow the user to enter "Carriage return" characters. Even if we keep
the current one-line editable string, we can for example make "ctrl-enter"
input a special character that looks like a carriage return, and is
interpreted as one.
2) Automatic word wrap: The user should be able to enter a width in pixels.
Grafx2 will automatically break line(s) that are too long, without cutting
words. I have to think a little about how the punction marks should behave.
3) Vertical spacing should be customizable (in pixels). Some fonts have a
very large automatic spacing, so Grafx2 should propose negative values as well.
4) Auto-centering is sometimes better, and normally not difficult to
implement. For completeness, we can propose the 3 alignments: left
(default), center, right.

The lack of extended line editing (and clipboard) limits this function. But
when you have a short paragraph to type in a mockup, or simply a list (ex:
game menu), it's a bit painful to manually align the lines, both vertically
and horizontally, so this feature could be useful.

To align things, you're supposed to use the grid. But well, multiline text may 
make 
some sense.

Multiline text can now be pasted in the input box and is rendered properly.
Would still be nice to have a "readMultiLine" inputbox... but likely more 
complicated to write too.

Frozen for 2.4 with current set of features :
User can enter and edit multiline text using control+enter,
Rendering is aligned on left.
