Greg Brown commented on PIVOT-753:
----------------------------------

Seems fine to me - though I'd encourage you to test this as heavily as you can, since it will affect any app that displays text (i.e. pretty much every app).  :-)

> For long Label text that doesn't contain whitespace but with "wrapText:true" it would be nice to have an alternative place to wrap the text.
> Possible Solutions:
> - Provide a user-supplied "wrapChars" string containing suggested break characters
> - Break on either whitespace or some combination of Character attributes (for instance: DASH_PUNCTUATION or CONNECTOR_PUNCTUATION)
> - If there is no whitespace, then break at the exact boundary on whatever character is there (could be conditional on another "wrapAnywhere:true" style)
> - Some combination of the above
> - Use ellipsis as in PIVOT-623 without "wrapText" set.
> Note: there was preliminary discussion of this issue as part of the comments in PIVOT-623.  Moved to a new issue to avoid further confusion of the original ellipsis issue there.
