[Postscript] Emitting Postscript from REBOL

It should make no difference. Dropping the size just mean, you need 
to add the size to the possition yourself. The thing is, in my examples 
here, I often know the final right border (pos + size), so I always 
have size set to zero. And then it struck me, that I don't need the 
size.
at 0x0 "some long text that will be right aligned" right 800

is the same as

at 800x0 "some long text that will be right aligned" right
I like the second way better.

glayout wordwrap functions uses the internal view commands which 
calculate word-wrap.

Maxim, so they will be identical to what is seen in View instead 
of DRAW?

I was using it specifically to build HUGE tables (300000cells) and 
its deadly fast.
yes.
you can use it to wordwrap draw text too.

this will be useful when I will get to finish the function, perhaps 
in a month or so.
Geomol, I guess it doesn't harm layout capabilities.

Do you use the RIGHT and CENTER options in the dialect in your code 
today? Would you have to change alot, if I drop the size in the dialect?

the function is called get-word-wrap in the glayout lib (on rebol.org)

Geomol, there are some subtle bugs that I've not been able to figure 
out, causing certain layouts not to print, so I stick to a specific 
version right now.
It's a little annoying having only a 1-2 week window a year to work 
with postscript.

get-word-wrap can even return the pair size next to the lines, if 
you need the info to properly place the text   :-)
