 public Text setTextRise 
             (float textRise) 
            

Sets the text rise.

Parameters:

textRise - a vertical distance from the text's default base line.

Returns:

this Text

getHorizontalScaling

 public Float getHorizontalScaling() 
            

Gets the horizontal scaling property, which determines how wide the text should be stretched.

Returns:
