word_wrap

Insert line breaks in long labels

Description

Insert line breaks in long character strings. Useful if you want to wordwrap labels / titles for plots or tables.

Usage

word_wrap(labels, wrap, linesep = NULL)

Arguments

labels

Label(s) as character string, where a line break should be inserted. Several strings may be passed as vector (see 'Examples').
wrap

Maximum amount of chars per line (i.e. line length). If wrap = Inf or wrap = 0, no word wrap will be performed (i.e. labels will be returned as is).
linesep

By default, this argument is NULL and a regular new line string ("\n") is used. For HTML-purposes, for instance, linesep could be "<br>".

Value

New label(s) with line breaks inserted at every wrap's position.

Examples

word_wrap(c("A very long string", "And another even longer string!"), 10)

message(word_wrap("Much too long string for just one line!", 15))
