fitText

A Raphael.js plugin that fits Raphael text elements to certain width, simulating the text-overflow: ellipsis; CSS declaration.

Usage

fitText can be applied to any non-removed Raphael text element. Non-text elements (i.e. path) will be ignored.

Accepts the following parameters:

  • width - optional width in pixels (defaults to paper width)
  • text - optional text to set

Example

Working example available at http://jsfiddle.net/sCEBD/2/

Fit existing text to width

paper.text(150, 50, 'Hello world!').fitText(30);

Fit existing text to paper width (since version 0.2.0)

paper.text(150, 50, 'Hello world!').fitText();

Update an existing text and fit to width

paper.text(150, 80, 'Hello world!').fitText(40, 'Hello worrrrrlllldddd!');

The fitText method is chainable

paper.text(150, 120, 'Hello world!').attr({
    'font-size': 30
}).fitText(50, 'Hello worrrrrlllldddd!').attr({
    'fill': 'red'
});

Changelog

0.2.0

  • The width argument is now optional. Defaults to paper width.
