How to display multiple paragraphs

Question

Hi, I cannot find any tutorials about displaying multiple paragraphs in a Canvas. All the tutorials only print a certain paragraph. When I added a "\n" in the text, it also does not print on the next line. This is the code I used:
String sentence = "The quick brown fox \n\n\njumps over the lazy dog.";
Graphics2D g = (Graphics2D) graphics;
          LineBreakMeasurer linebreaker = new LineBreakMeasurer(new AttributedString(sentence)
          .getIterator(), g.getFontRenderContext());
          int y = 5;
          while (linebreaker.getPosition() < sentence.length()) {
               TextLayout textLayout = linebreaker.nextLayout(300);
               y += textLayout.getAscent() + 5;
               textLayout.draw(g, 5, y);
               y += textLayout.getDescent() + textLayout.getLeading();
          }This prints
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.but what I expect is
The quick brown fox
jumps over the lazy dog.Can someone help me please. Thanks!

Hi,
I went through the API documentation for the java.awt.font.LineBreakMeasurer and I have found two examples at the class API level; Please do read the api again with the example which gives a good details of the class and especially with displaying a paragraph inside a component.
