How to Add Height element while Appending text on images

Question

I am Looking if we can add Height element in the given Example.

So that i can Specify

public void drawString(Graphics g, String s, int x, int y, int width,int height)

Now if my text is more than height it is overlapping on next text.

You want to draw string which occupies more than one line..? — Sorceror, Dec 21 '12 at 11:07

One way is to use HTML formatting in a `JLabel` & set the desired width as a style. See the [`LabelRenderTest`](http://stackoverflow.com/a/5853992/418556) source for an example. Once the width and string is set, the label should be able to report the preferred size (including height). — Andrew Thompson, Dec 21 '12 at 15:32

I didn't test that, but that might help you with your problem..

public void drawString(Graphics g, String s, int x, int y, int width, int height) {
    // FontMetrics gives us information about the width,
    // height, etc. of the current Graphics object's Font.
    FontMetrics fm = g.getFontMetrics();

    int lineHeight = fm.getHeight();

    int curX = x;
    int curY = y;
    int totalHeight = 0;

    String[] words = s.split(" ");

    String word = "";
    // end of words array wasn't reached and still some space left
    for(int i = 0; i < words.length && totalHeight <= height; i++) {

        // Find out thw width of the word.
        int wordWidth = fm.stringWidth(word + " ");

        // If text exceeds the width, then move to next line.
        if (curX + wordWidth >= x + width) {
            curY += lineHeight;
            totalHeight += lineHeight;
            curX = x;
        }

        g.drawString(word, curX, curY);

        // Move over to the right for next word.
        curX += wordWidth;
    }
}
