Object's properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| AllowExpressions | This property allows to turn on or off the expression handling. It is on by default. |
| Angle | This property indicates the text rotation, in degrees. |
| AutoShrink | This property allows to shrink the font size or font width automatically to fit the text. |

| AutoWidth | This property allows to calculate the width of object automatically. |
| Brackets | This property contains a pair of symbols that designate an expression. |
| BreakTo | With this property you can organize the text flow from one text object to another. For example, we have "A" and "B" text objects. The "A" object contains the long text that does not fit in the object's bounds. You can set the A.BreakTo to B, so the "B" object will display the part of text that does not fit in "A". |
| Clip | This property determines whether it is necessary to clip a text outside of object's bounds. It is on by default. |
| Duplicates | This property determines how the repeated values will be printed. Read more about this property in the "Formatting" chapter. |
| FirstTabOffset | This property determines the offset of the first TAB symbol, in pixels. |
| Font | Font settings. |
| FontWidthRatio | Use this property to make the font wider or narrower. By default the property is set to 1. To make the font wider, set the property to value > 1. To make the font narrower, set the property to value between 0 and 1. |
| HideValue | This property is of string type. It allows to hide values that are equal to the value of this property. Read more about this property in the "Formatting" chapter. |
| HideZeros | This property allows to hide zero values. Read more about this property in the "Formatting" chapter. |

| HorzAlign, VertAlign | These properties determine the text alignment. |
| HtmlTags | Deprecated, replaced by TextRenderType. |
| LineHeight | This property allows to explicitly set the height of a text line. By default it is set to 0, so the default line spacing is used. |
| MergeMode | Combining text objects with the same content that are located next to each other. Contains 2 values: - Horizontal – horizontal union; - Vertical – vertical union.It is acceptable to use both separately and jointly. Important note! The objects should be close to each other. |

| Padding | This property allows to setup the padding, in pixels. |
| ParagraphFormat | Settings for displaying paragraphs (line spacing, red line indentation). Read more about this property in the "Support for HTML tags in text" chapter. |

| RightToLeft | This property indicates whether the text should be displayed in right-to-left order. |

| TabWidth | This property determines the width of the TAB symbol, in pixels. |
