WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS

21       Name:     height
22       Class:    Height
23       Switch:   -height
24           Specifies a desired height for the label.  If an image or bitmap is
25           being displayed in the label then the value is in screen units
26           (i.e. any of the forms acceptable to Tk_GetPixels); for text it is
27           in lines of text.  If this option isn't specified, the label's
28           desired height is computed from the size of the image or bitmap or
29           text being displayed in it.
30
31       Name:     state
32       Class:    State
33       Switch:   -state
34           Specifies one of three states for the label: normal, active, or
35           disabled. In normal state the label is displayed using the
36           foreground and background options. In active state the label is
37           displayed using the activeForeground and activeBackground options.
38           In the disabled state the disabledForeground and background options
39           determine how the button is displayed.
40
41       Name:     width
42       Class:    Width
43       Switch:   -width
44           Specifies a desired width for the label.  If an image or bitmap is
45           being displayed in the label then the value is in screen units
46           (i.e. any of the forms acceptable to Tk_GetPixels); for text it is
47           in characters.  If this option isn't specified, the label's desired
48           width is computed from the size of the image or bitmap or text
49           being displayed in it.

DESCRIPTION

52       The Label method creates a new window (given by the $widget argument)
53       and makes it into a label widget.  Additional options, described above,
54       may be specified on the command line or in the option database to
55       configure aspects of the label such as its colors, font, text, and
56       initial relief.  The label command returns its $widget argument.  At
57       the time this command is invoked, there must not exist a window named
58       $widget, but $widget's parent must exist.
59
60       A label is a widget that displays a textual string, bitmap or image.
61       If text is displayed, it must all be in a single font, but it can
62       occupy multiple lines on the screen (if it contains newlines or if
63       wrapping occurs because of the wrapLength option) and one of the
64       characters may optionally be underlined using the underline option.
65       The label can be manipulated in a few simple ways, such as changing its
66       relief or text, using the commands described below.
67

WIDGET METHODS

69       The Label method creates a widget object.  This object supports the
70       configure and cget methods described in Tk::options which can be used
71       to enquire and modify the options described above.  The widget also
72       inherits all the methods provided by the generic Tk::Widget class.
73

BINDINGS

75       When a new label is created, it has no default event bindings: labels
76       are not intended to be interactive.
