text_1.setStyle({
    "backgroundColor":"blue",
    "color":"orange",
    "fontFamily":"serif",
    "fontSize":"60px",
    "fontStyle":"bold italic",
    "stroke":"orange",
    "shadow.offsetX":5,
    "shadow.offsetY":5,
    "shadow.color":"brown",
    "shadow.blur":7,
    "shadow.stroke":true,
    "shadow.fill":true});
text_1.setPadding({"left":10,"top":10,"right":10,"bottom":10});
