Here's something simple I've had for years.

// String extensions for wordwrap + trimming

Hope this will get you started. To really do this right, you need to examine the textWidth/textHeight required and adjust text accordingly which is much more complex than what I posted above.

For example: "Thunderstorm With Light Rain"
when split to a widget of width 130 and height 258 with X and Y centered

Becomes:
"Thundersto"
"rm With"
"Light Rain"

So, if you size the widget to a minimum width of the longest word you expect to process, you should be good. You really only run into issues if you have a very narrow widget.

Email me at the address on my RC Profile and I will send you the XCF.

This is a work in progress and results are not guaranteed but the code was my first attempt at using the widget::getLabelSize(text) function available in ProntoScript.
