Superclass Simple
A Label widget holds a graphic displayed within a
rectangular region of the screen. The graphic may be a
text string containing multiple lines of characters in an
8 bit or 16 bit character set (to be displayed with a
font), or in a multi-byte encoding (for use with a
fontset). The graphic may also be a bitmap or
pixmap. The Label widget will allow its graphic to be
left, right, or center justified. Normally, this widget
can be neither selected nor directly edited by the user.
It is intended for use as an output device only.
