Hello,  
While writing a little program on android processing, I encountered a problem ,I would like to know if it is possible to line up automatically when the text meets the right edge of the screen :

void setup () {  
background (0);  
fullScreen();  
}

void draw () {  
textSize(height/20);  
fill(255);  
text(“Click here to go to the next level”,width/100,height/2);  
}

Here are the image:

Sorry for the mistakes I use the Google Translate

Can you help me solve my problem ?  
Thanks

The `text()` function takes a `width` and `height` parameter which allows you to specify a bounding box:

```auto
size(200, 300);
background(32);
textSize(18);
text("this is a lot of text it's too long to fit in the window", 0, 50, width, 250);

```

You could also use the `textAlign()` function to align your text.

More info can be found in [the reference](https://processing.org/reference/).
