<H3><A NAME="M17">DESCRIPTION</A></H3>
|
||
|
|
The <B>label</B> command creates a new window (given by the
|
||
|
|
<I>pathName</I> 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 <B>label</B> command returns its
|
||
|
|
<I>pathName</I> argument. At the time this command is invoked,
|
||
|
|
there must not exist a window named <I>pathName</I>, but
|
||
|
|
<I>pathName</I>'s parent must exist.
|
||
|
|
<P>
|
||
|
|
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 <B>wrapLength</B> option) and
|
||
|
|
one of the characters may optionally be underlined using the
|
||
|
|
<B>underline</B> option.
|
||
|
|
The label can be manipulated in a few simple ways, such as
|
||
|
|
changing its relief or text, using the commands described below.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<H3><A NAME="M18">WIDGET COMMAND</A></H3>
|
||
|
|
The <B>label</B> command creates a new Tcl command whose
|
||
|
|
name is <I>pathName</I>. This
|
||
|
|
command may be used to invoke various
|
||
|
|
operations on the widget. It has the following general form:
|
||
|
|
<PRE><I>pathName option </I>?<I>arg arg ...</I>?</PRE>
|
||
|
|
<I>Option</I> and the <I>arg</I>s
|
||
|
|
determine the exact behavior of the command. The following
|
||
|
|
commands are possible for label widgets:
|
||
|
|
<P>
|
||
|
|
<DL>
|
||
|
|
<P><DT><A NAME="M19"><I>pathName </I><B>cget</B> <I>option</I></A><DD>
|
||
|
|
Returns the current value of the configuration option given
|
||
|
|
by <I>option</I>.
|
||
|
|
<I>Option</I> may have any of the values accepted by the <B>label</B>
|
||
|
|
command.
|
||
|
|
<P><DT><A NAME="M20"><I>pathName </I><B>configure</B> ?<I>option</I>? ?<I>value option value ...</I>?</A><DD>
|
||
|
|
Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.
|
||
|
|
If no <I>option</I> is specified, returns a list describing all of
|
||
|
|
the available options for <I>pathName</I> (see <B><A HREF="../TclLib/ConfigWidg.htm">Tk_ConfigureInfo</A></B> for
|
||
|
|
information on the format of this list). If <I>option</I> is specified
|
||
|
|
with no <I>value</I>, 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 <I>option</I> is specified). If
|
||
|
|
one or more <I>option-value</I> 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.
|
||
|
|
<I>Option</I> may have any of the values accepted by the <B>label</B>
|
||
|
|
command.
|
||

<H3><A NAME="M21">BINDINGS</A></H3>
|
||
|
|
When a new label is created, it has no default event bindings:
|
||
|
|
labels are not intended to be interactive.
