formatLabels: Break long character strings into multiple lines

Description

This function attempts to break lomg character strings into multiple lines by replacing a given pattern by a newline character.

Usage

formatLabels(labels, 
             maxCharPerLine = 14, 
             split = " ", fixed = TRUE, 
             newsplit = split, keepSplitAtEOL = TRUE)

Arguments

labels

Character strings to be formatted.

maxCharPerLine

Integer giving the maximum number of characters per line.

split

Pattern to be replaced by newline ('\n') characters.

fixed

Logical: Should the pattern be interpreted literally (TRUE) or as a regular expression (FALSE)? See strsplit and its argument fixed.

newsplit

Character string to replace the occurrences of split above with.

keepSplitAtEOL

When replacing an occurrence of split with a newline character, should the newsplit be added before the newline as well?

Value

A character vector of the same length as input labels.

Details

Each given element of labels is processed independently. The character string is split using strsplit, with split as the splitting pattern. The resulting shorter character strings are then concatenated together with newsplit as the separator. Whenever the length of the combined result from the start or the previous newline character exceeds maxCharPerLine, a newline character is inserted (at the previous split).

Note that individual segements (i.e., sections of the input between occurrences of split) whose number of characters exceeds maxCharPerLine will not be split.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
s = "A quick hare jumps over the brown fox";
formatLabels(s);
# }
