I'm trying to create a simple "Page" where a piece of text is bounded within a rectangle(the page). I want to be able to put a large amount of text within the rectangle, if the text does not fit within the rectangle then it is scaled down? Is this possible?
Thanks

public class Test extends Application {
@Override
public void start( Stage stage ) throws Exception {
double width = 100;
// create rectangle of specified width
Rectangle r = new Rectangle( 90, 200, width, 20 );
// get bounds of the rectangle
Bounds rb = r.getBoundsInLocal();
// create two identical texts for comparison
Text t1 = new Text(50, 170, "Some long text that would not fit.");
Text t2 = new Text(50, 190, "Some long text that would *** fit.");
// get bounds of the text
// this will return how much space the text actually takes
Bounds t2b = t2.getBoundsInLocal();
// find the scale down amount
double scalex = rb.getWidth()/t2b.getWidth();
// scale the text down to what the rect is
t2.setScaleX( scalex );
Pane root = new Pane();
root.getChildren().addAll( r, t1, t2 );
stage.setScene( new Scene( root, 800, 600 ) );
stage.show();
}
public static void main( String args[] ) {
launch( args );
}
