How to clip text label in Libgdx - libgdx

I have a Label with defined width and height, and I want text added to it to be clipped if it can't fit the label instead of increasing its size (height rather).

I solved this with the following instruction using the ScissorStack. I hope this may help you!

Decrease label text size based on container width

I have a sidebar with a display name and the problem is if the user name is too long it will go beyond the container. I tried to use Jquery FitText but it doesn't seem to do what i want unless i'm doing something wrong. Function to resize is always called even if i change browser window size and the container where the name is didn't change anything. Is there a way to make the text fit the container without going beyond it?
This is actually possible with pure CSS.
Here is a great article: https://css-tricks.com/viewport-sized-typography/.
UPDATE
The issue with using pure CSS is that the text will always fit the viewport. The following custom solution only changes the text size if it overflows the containing box: jsfiddle.net/0swbytek

How to change height of an element as screen size gets smaller?

I am stumped on this issue. I have a feeling the solution is rather simple, but I can't figure it out myself.
Currently the background of one section doesn't increase its height to accommodate all the text that gets pushed down due to lower screen size. How do I make it so the background of 1 section increases together with the text.

Thanks for any help.
Have you tried height:auto and setting a min-height along with it? Or add padding to the bottom so that you can have that initial gap still-- But that would make the text always have that padding, which I don't know that you want, so I wouldn't advise it.
Alternatively, set overflow:auto so that a scrollbar will appear when the text goes beyond its box. Then there's no need for height change

How can I make an image grow in height based on the length of text?

The image of an owl is right next to a block of text. I want the owl to have the height of the text so there's no awkward space underneath it. How should I approach this problem?

You can do this with: height:100%.
Ahhh had to get out of using the WordPress img src default. AFter, I had more freedom to change the image size.

text container size - text wrap?

I would like to know how can I wrap the text inside a container and not get cut off if the page size is smaller than the size needed for the paragraph to be displayed. - A scrollbar cannot be used..
Any helping ideas? :s
you need try this:
word-wrap:break-word;
Wrapping is automatically added to the word fit in the specified width of the block.

Using VerticalAlignment with InlineGraphicElement inside TextFlow AS3 Flex

I am making a paragraph of text using a number of SpanElements within a ParagraphElement, all inside a TextFlow. It also has a number of InlineGaphicElements, some of which have a height greater than the text line height. In these cases I'd like the graphic to be positioned so that the text aligns with the middle of the image.
The most obvious thing I've found that would seem to do this is setting the VerticalAlignment property within the InlineGaphicElements to VerticalAlignment.MIDDLE, but these seems to make no difference, no matter what I set it to. I think this is because it can only be applied to an entire TextFlow inside a container.
I'm hitting a bit of a wall with this so any help would be much appreciated!
