#### 9.10.2.2 Word Wrapping for Block Diagrams

For block diagrams, this setting only takes effect if you specify a concrete size (as in pixels) for the block and not when its size is made equal to another block. Since all blocks have a default size, this is practically always the case, unless you set the size (width or height for left or right oriented labels) to the size of another block (or blocks).

Since Msc-generator always increases the size you specify to accommodate the label (and the content of the block), if you specify a too small size, word wrapping will be performed to the width necessary for the longest word in the label.

Note that if the label’s orientation (set via `label_orient`) is vertical, you need to set `height` instead of `width`.
