How to specify line width in textext/inkscape?

Question

I am using the textext extension to Inkscape to insert LaTeX into my figure. How can I specify the line width?

Line width for the graphics or for the text? For the first, open the properties of the object and change the line width (use pt for example). — Sigur, Feb 18 '15 at 14:25
Have you tried doing as in the screenshot? (\begin{minipage}{<width>}<text>\end{minipage}) — Torbjørn T., Feb 18 '15 at 14:26
@TorbjørnT. That worked! Thanks. If you post an answer I'll accept it, or I can just delete this question if it is too obvious :) — a06e, Feb 18 '15 at 14:29
@TorbjørnT., you interpreted the line width different from me. The OP was talking about the text width not about the thickness. Nice! Good shot! — Sigur, Feb 18 '15 at 14:41

You can make text blocks of a given width using the minipage environment, so for example

\begin{minipage}{5cm}
This text block will have a width of 5cm.
\end{minipage}
