# TTF\_SetTextWrapWhitespaceVisible(3)

Set whether whitespace should be visible when wrapping a text object.

## NAME

TTF\_SetTextWrapWhitespaceVisible - Set whether whitespace should be visible when wrapping a text object.

## HEADER FILE

Defined in SDL3\_ttf/SDL\_ttf.h

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include "SDL3_ttf/SDL_ttf.h"
```

**bool TTF\_SetTextWrapWhitespaceVisible(TTF\_Text \*text, bool visible);**

## DESCRIPTION

If the whitespace is visible, it will take up space for purposes of alignment and wrapping. This is good for editing, but looks better when centered or aligned if whitespace around line wrapping is hidden. This defaults false.

This function may cause the internal text representation to be rebuilt.

## FUNCTION PARAMETERS

- *text*

  the  **TTF\_Text**\
    to modify.

- *visible*

  true to show whitespace when wrapping text, false to hide it.

## RETURN VALUE

Returns true on success or false on failure; call SDL\_GetError() for more information.

## THREAD SAFETY

This function should be called on the thread that created the text.

## AVAILABILITY

This function is available since SDL\_ttf 3.0.0.
