How to implement "text-overflow: ellipsis" or "text-overflow: clip"?

I’m trying to create a table with each cell to be a single line text which will replace overflowed text with ‘…’, or at least clip the overflowed text.

I have no idea how to achieve this, the table’s layout is something like this:

Column
    Container - table head
        Row
    Container - table body row #1
        Row
            Container - the cell
                Text - the text

I’ve tried invoking wrapping(Wrapping::None) on Text, but wrapping is still happening.

I can mimic a clipped single line text by fixing the height of Text widget, but I don’t think this is a good method because I don’t know how to get the rendered size of a glyph.

You can combine Text.wrapping with Container.clip. If by any chance you’re using tiny-skia instead of wgpu, you will find that Container.clip doesn’t work properly with it, but Text.wrapping should.

I don’t think there’s is an implementation of clipping with an ellipsis yet.

Thank you for your reply, but it seems that the combination of Text.wrapping and Container.clip does not work, I’ve tried this:

    container(
      Text::new("some text in cell")
      .wrapping(Wrapping::None)
    )
    .height(Length::Shrink)
    .align_y(Alignment::Center)
    .clip(true)

But I still get wrapped text:

It looks like Wrapping::None does nothing, did I use it in a wrong way?

Update:

I have a feeling that the wrapping field of Text is not functioning, because no matter I use Wrapping::None, Wrapping::Word, Wrapping::Glyph or Wrapping::WordOrGlyph, I observe no difference in rendered interfaces.

And I think I’m using wgpu as I saw a lot of rows starting with wgpu_core in my log.

Update 2:

Ah, I finally figured it out, I just need to use the latest version from github, not the version from crates.io, there might be an unpublished bug fix.

You’re right, I had forgotten about Apply `Wrapping` to `Paragraph`s by Konsl · Pull Request #2723 · iced-rs/iced · GitHub
