Stumbling through the code of GridSimple.py in the demo, I came across some
intriguing lines that are commented out.
There is, for example, a call to wxGridCellAutoWrapStringRenderer().
"Aha!", I said. "Looks like just what I want." But how does it work?
What does it do? What are the limits?
Not much of a clue. Have I missed this somewhere in the documentation, or
is this yet another of the undocumented features that seem to multiply when
you''re not looking?
More to the point: Suppose I wanted to use this and then: (1) Keep the
width of the cell constant, but (2) have the row containing the cell resize
its height to display the wrapped text?
Any help will be appreciated.

Yep. Somebody added several editors and renderers a whle back, but like the rest of wxGrid the docs are in a poor state or nonexistent. That will change when we start autogenerating our own copy of the docs.

Looks like it implements a GetBestSize that will do that. It takes the column width and then trys to calculate where to wrap and what the height should be at that width.
