Clip— If selected, specifies that the text is clipped at the edge of its bounding box.

Shrinkto fit — If selected, specifies that the font of the text reduces as necessary so that the text fits in its bounding box.

Overflow— If selected, specifies that the text ignores the edge of its bounding box and flows out of it.

Wraptext — Specifies whether the text wraps onto multiple lines when it reaches the edge of the text bounding box (selected) or whether the text ignores the bounding box and continues on one line (unselected). When this is selected, if a word is too long to fit on a single line, it is wrapped by character. Mandatory.
