How to set clipping of text in graph from all sides, so it stays in requested area

I'm doing a plot/graph in matlab and I need to have also some text in that plot (for some reasons), but when I write this:

app.sometext = text(app.myplot,x_coordinate,y_coordinate, "some long text");

set(app.sometext, 'Clipping', 'on');

... problem is when text is too long. Clipping is set 'on' only from left side but I need to set clipping 'on' from all sides. Does anyone know what to do to set clipping of text in plot from all sides so it stays in requested area?

You can achieve partial text clipping by setting the 'ClippingStyle' property of the axes to 'rectangle':

xy = [0.95, 0.8];
plot(xy(1),xy(2),'ro','LineWidth',2)
hold on
text(xy(1),xy(2),'Text Label','Clipping','on')
xlim([0,1])

set(gca(),'ClippingStyle','rectangle')
