## Detailed Description

All input/output operators are confined to this namespace.

This is done so that the library's input/output operators do not interfere with those the user might want to define. In fact, it is highly unlikely that any predefined I/O operator will suit the needs of a client application. On the other hand, those applications for which the PPL I/O operator are enough can easily obtain access to them. For example, a directive like

using namespace Parma_Polyhedra_Library::IO_Operators;

would suffice for most uses. In more complex situations, such as

const Constraint_System& cs = ...;
copy(cs.begin(), cs.end(),
ostream_iterator<Constraint>(cout, "\n"));

the Parma_Polyhedra_Library namespace must be suitably extended. This can be done as follows:

namespace Parma_Polyhedra_Library {
// Import all the output operators into the main PPL namespace.
using IO_Operators::operator<<;
}

## Function Documentation

std::string Parma_Polyhedra_Library::IO_Operators::wrap_string | ( | const std::string & | src_string,
|  | unsigned | indent_depth,
|  | unsigned | preferred_first_line_length,
|  | unsigned | preferred_line_length
| ) |  |

Utility function for the wrapping of lines of text.

Parameters

  src_string | The source string holding the lines to wrap.
  indent_depth | The indentation depth.
  preferred_first_line_length | The preferred length for the first line of text.
  preferred_line_length | The preferred length for all the lines but the first one.

Returns
  The wrapped string.
