How to re-adjust content while resizing gnome-terminal?

Question

Some times when I am compiling a script the parameters are so long that they cover many lines in the terminal. When I resize the terminal in order to read more clearly, the content does not automatically re-adjust to the size of the terminal.

Is there a way of telling the terminal to re-format its output depending on the window size of the terminal emulator?

I am using gnome-terminal, Fedora 16

Answer 1

No. The content has already been sent to the terminal, so there is no longer anyone that can control it other than the terminal. And if the terminal is not written to control it, then it won't.

Answer 2

Gnome-terminal supports this feature beginning with VTE library version 0.36.
