.SH "WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS"
|
|
.OP \-height height Height
|
|
Specifies a desired height for the label.
|
|
If an image or bitmap is being displayed in the label then the value is in
|
|
screen units (i.e. any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR);
|
|
for text it is in lines of text.
|
|
If this option isn't specified, the label's desired height is computed
|
|
from the size of the image or bitmap or text being displayed in it.
|
|
.OP \-width width Width
|
|
Specifies a desired width for the label.
|
|
If an image or bitmap is being displayed in the label then the value is in
|
|
screen units (i.e. any of the forms acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR);
|
|
for text it is in characters.
|
|
If this option isn't specified, the label's desired width is computed
|
|
from the size of the image or bitmap or text being displayed in it.

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fBlabel\fR command creates a new window (given by the
|
|
\fIpathName\fR argument) and makes it into a label widget.
|
|
Additional
|
|
options, described above, may be specified on the command line
|
|
or in the option database
|
|
to configure aspects of the label such as its colors, font,
|
|
text, and initial relief. The \fBlabel\fR command returns its
|
|
\fIpathName\fR argument. At the time this command is invoked,
|
|
there must not exist a window named \fIpathName\fR, but
|
|
\fIpathName\fR's parent must exist.
|
|
.PP
|
|
A label is a widget that displays a textual string, bitmap or image.
|
|
If text is displayed, it must all be in a single font, but it
|
|
can occupy multiple lines on the screen (if it contains newlines
|
|
or if wrapping occurs because of the \fBwrapLength\fR option) and
|
|
one of the characters may optionally be underlined using the
|
|
\fBunderline\fR option.
|
|
The label can be manipulated in a few simple ways, such as
|
|
changing its relief or text, using the commands described below.
|
|
|
|
.SH "WIDGET COMMAND"
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fBlabel\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose
|
|
name is \fIpathName\fR. This
|
|
command may be used to invoke various
|
|
operations on the widget. It has the following general form:
|
|
.CS
|
|
\fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
|
|
.CE
|
|
\fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs
|
|
determine the exact behavior of the command. The following
|
|
commands are possible for label widgets:
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fIpathName \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR
|
|
Returns the current value of the configuration option given
|
|
by \fIoption\fR.
|
|
\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBlabel\fR
|
|
command.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fIpathName \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue option value ...\fR?
|
|
Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.
|
|
If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of
|
|
the available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for
|
|
information on the format of this list). If \fIoption\fR is specified
|
|
with no \fIvalue\fR, then the command returns a list describing the
|
|
one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding
|
|
sublist of the value returned if no \fIoption\fR is specified). If
|
|
one or more \fIoption\-value\fR pairs are specified, then the command
|
|
modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in
|
|
this case the command returns an empty string.
|
|
\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBlabel\fR
|
|
command.
|
|
|
|
.SH BINDINGS
|
|
.PP
|
|
When a new label is created, it has no default event bindings:
|
|
labels are not intended to be interactive.
