c# - Word wrap a string in multiple lines

Question

I am trying to word wrap a string into multiple lines. Every line will have a defined width.

For example, I would get this result if I word wrap it to an area of 120 pixels in width:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed augue
velit, tempor non vulputate sit amet,
dictum vitae lacus. In vitae ante
justo, ut accumsan sem. Donec
pulvinar, nisi nec sagittis consequat,
sem orci luctus velit, sed elementum
ligula ante nec neque. Pellentesque
habitant morbi tristique senectus et
netus et malesuada fames ac turpis
egestas. Etiam erat est, pellentesque
eget tincidunt ut, egestas in ante.
Nulla vitae vulputate velit. Proin in

Duis ultricies pharetra dui, sagittis

Answer 1

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    List<string> lines = WrapText("Add some text", 300, "Calibri", 11);

    foreach (var item in lines)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(item);
    }

    Console.ReadLine();
}

static List<string> WrapText(string text, double pixels, string fontFamily, 
    float emSize)
{
    string[] originalLines = text.Split(new string[] { " " }, 
        StringSplitOptions.None);

    List<string> wrappedLines = new List<string>();

    StringBuilder actualLine = new StringBuilder();
    double actualWidth = 0;

    foreach (var item in originalLines)
    {
        FormattedText formatted = new FormattedText(item, 
            CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, 
            System.Windows.FlowDirection.LeftToRight,
            new Typeface(fontFamily), emSize, Brushes.Black);

        actualLine.Append(item + " ");
        actualWidth += formatted.Width;

        if (actualWidth > pixels)
        {
            wrappedLines.Add(actualLine.ToString());
            actualLine.Clear();
            actualWidth = 0;
        }
    }

    if(actualLine.Length > 0)
        wrappedLines.Add(actualLine.ToString());

    return wrappedLines;
}
