## Attributes

The **Object's** **Attributes** can be used to fully customize the **Object**. Explained below, they are:

* [**Transformation**](#transformation)
* [**Text Area**](#text-area)
* [**Text**](#text)
* [**Font**](#font)
* [**Style**](#style)
* [**Tag**](#tag)

### Transformation

The `Transformation` **Attributes** deal with placement, rotation, and size in *XY* space. More information can be found [here](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2023.2/objects-and-types/attributes/common-attributes/transformation).

### Text Area

The `Text Area` **Attributes** provide crucial data for a **Text Area Object**.

* `Text` is simply the desired text.
* `Word Wrap` can be enabled and disabled. When it is enabled, the text fits within the confines of the **Text Area**. If disabled, the text will be in one line and may run off the **Text Area**, causing some text to not be visible. In this case, please adjust the dimensions of the **Text Area**.

### Text

The **Text Attributes** offer the user options to customize the **Text**:

* `Line height (%)` determines the placement of the text within the text box.
* `Color` decides the color of the text.

### Font

The **Font Attributes** offer the user options to customize the **Text's** font:

* `Family` offers three different font types: `monospace`, `sans-serif`, and `serif`. More fonts can be added by the user in [**Project Settings**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2023.2/modules/project-settings/fonts).
* `Size` determines the size of the font in pixels.

### Style

The **Style Attributes** offer the user options to customize further visual aspects of the **Text Area**:

* The `Background Color` is the color of the **Text Area** box which appears behind the text.
* `CSS Classes` contain the *CSS* class names of the **Object**.
* `Stylesheet` contains the *CSS* stylesheet of the **Object**. This can override any stylesheet provided in the [**Project Settings**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2023.2/modules/project-settings/style) or a [**Scene2D**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2023.2/objects-and-types/project-objects/scene2d).
