Note: A "newline" character in the string will be ignored.
Space characters don't generate a clip rectangle. Its width will be respected.

The text will be written along an object, e.g. a contour. If the text will exceed the end of this object it will continue at the start point and overwrite its own beginning. To avoid this you may change the character distance.

If the start point is not located on the referenced object the text will start at the perpendicular point (in the case of contours: at the perpendicular point of the nearest object).
