Java – how to calculate the number of rows in jtextarea, including the number of rows caused by packaging?

I have a jtextarea. I have set word wrap and wrap style word to true I want to "wrap" the jtextarea to the minimum possible height of a given specified width

To do this, I plan to use... To calculate the height of the font

Font font = jTextArea.getFont();
  FontMetrics fontMetrics = jTextArea.getFontMetrics(font);
  int lineHeight = fontMetrics.getAscent() + fontMetrics.getDescent();

... and multiply it by the number of rows used in jtextarea The problem is jtextarea Getlinecount() calculates the number of returned lines that ignore wrapping lines

How to calculate the number of rows used in jtextarea, including the number of rows caused by word wrap?

Here are some demo code to make this easier I have a monitor that prints the number of trips every time the window is resized At present, it always prints 1, but I want to compensate for the word wrapping and print out how many lines are actually used

Editor: I have included the solution to the problem in the following code The static countlines method gives the solution

Solution

You can use the linebreakmeasurer class
