Balanced wrapping

Default text wrapping is greedy: each line takes as many words as fit, leaving the last line short and ragged. For headings and pull-quotes, balanced wrapping looks better — every line ends at roughly the same point.

Text("Breaking News: Scientists Discover New Species in the Amazon Rainforest")
  .font("sans-serif")
  .size(28)
  .weight("bold")
  .maxWidth(480)
  .textWrap("balance")

How it works

.textWrap("balance") shrinks the effective line-break width until all lines have roughly equal width, then sizes the node to that narrowed content. The result: ragged-right text that doesn't have an awkwardly short last line.

The text node itself sizes down to the balanced content width, so it composes naturally inside flex containers — no extra trailing whitespace on the right.

When to use it

• Headings (h1–h3).
• Pull-quotes.
• Card titles.
• Hero subtitles.
• Anything short where the last line would otherwise be 1–2 words.

For body copy, prefer the default "wrap" — balanced wrapping is more expensive and visual benefit is small at body-text size.

Composes with hyphenation

Text("Extraordinary accomplishments in internationalization.")
  .maxWidth(220)
  .hyphenate("en")
  .textWrap("balance")

Hyphenation creates more break opportunities; balance distributes them across lines.
