Roger Whitcomb commented on PIVOT-623:
--------------------------------------
That's fairly reasonable, and in some of my cases this would work alright. I
was just wondering if there might be additional reasonable break characters,
but then the question was: which ones, which is why I let the user specify it.
I kind of hijacked this issue because it was related, but we could open a
separate one for just this feature. Having alternative break characters was
another way to address the issue that ellipsis would provide.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-623
> Project: Pivot
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: wtk, wtk-terra
> Reporter: Sandro Martini
> Assignee: Sandro Martini
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.1

> Attachments: label.diff

>
> Add an ellipsis style on labels (default off), to trim the drawn label if
> it's too long in respect of the space assigned.
> Depending on the chosen style, ellipsis chars could go at end of the label,
> at center, at start, etc ...
> Could be useful in some cases to have also "strange" behaviors, like for URLs
> or file paths where for example could be useful to trim some parts of the
> string but near the end of the path, but keeping the filename part full (if
> possible).
> Verify if enable user defined behaviors also (for example giving in a
> sub-style attribute the full classname of a custom implementation, but maybe
> this could be too complex or not in line with other parts in Pivot.
> Verify if add also a sub-style attribute to set a different char to use for
> the ellipsis (instead of the default "...").
