Skew Y / skewY	Double	0	Skew along the y axis.
Skew Order / skewOrder	Choice	XY	The order in which skew transforms are applied: X then Y, or Y then X. XY YX
Amount / transformAmount	Double	1	Amount of transform to apply. 0 means the transform is identity, 1 means to apply the full transform.
Center / center	Double	x: 0.5 y: 0.5	Center of rotation and scale.
Reset Center / resetCenter	Button		Reset the position of the center to the center of the input region of definition
Interactive Update / interactive	Boolean	On	If checked, update the parameter values during interaction with the image viewer, else update the values when pen is released.
HiDPI / hidpi	Boolean	Off	Should be checked when the display area is High-DPI (a.k.a Retina). Draws OpenGL overlays twice larger.
Transform / transform	Boolean	On	Use transform overlay for text position.
Auto size / autoSize	Boolean	Off	Set canvas sized based on text. This will disable word wrap, custom canvas size and circle effect. Transform functions should also not be used in combination with this feature.
Center Interact / centerInteract	Boolean	Off	Center the text in the interact.
