  Hi,

  There's no direct way to do this, but you could hack into PyGaze to set the wrap width with PsychoPy directly. The thing to know is that when you call Screen.draw_text, PyGaze creates a psychopy.visual.TextStim and appends it to Screen.screen, which is a list. So I think you could do something like this. Of course, this assumes that you're using the psychopy disttype in PyGaze.

  Warning: This is blindly coded and untested, just to show the general idea!

  # Assume that my_screen is a PyGaze `Screen` object
  my_screen.draw_text('Test')
  textstim = my_screen.screen[-1]
  textstim.wrapWidth = 400
  

  Cheers,
  Sebastiaan

  Hi,

  As @sebastiaan mentioned, if you are using the PsychoPy DISPTYPE, you can manipulate the psychopy.visual instances in the my_screen.screen list.

  For both PsychoPy and PyGame, you can include "\n" in your text. This will insert a newline wherever you put it. For example, "You won!\nThanks for participanting!\n\n(press space to exit)" will look like the following:

  You won!
  Thanks for participanting!
  
  (press space to exit)
  

  Good luck!
