PyGTK - Label Class
A Label widget is useful to display non-editable text. Label is used by many other widgets internally. For example, Button has a label to show text on the face. Similarly, MenuItem objects have a label. A label is a windowless object, so it cannot receive events directly.
Label class has a simple constructor −
gtk.Label(str = None)
The following useful methods can be used with Label object −
| S.NO | Methods and Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | set_text() This sets new text as label |
| 2 | get_text() This returns text from label |
| 3 | set_use_underline() If true, an underscore in the text indicates the next character should be used for the mnemonic accelerator key. |
| 4 | set_justify This sets the alignment of the lines in the text of the label relative to each other. Possible values are – gtk.JUSTIFY_LEFT, gtk.JUSTIFY_RIGHT, gtk.JUSTIFY_CENTER, and gtk.JUSTIFY_FILL. |
| 5 | Set_line_wrap() If true, the line will be wrapped |
| 6 | set_selectable() If true, the text in the label can be selected for copy-paste |
| 7 | set_width_chars() This sets the width of a label |
The following signals are emitted by label widget −
| activate-current-link | This gets emitted when the user activates a link in the label. |
| activate-link | This gets emitted to activate a URI. |
| copy-clipboard | This gets emitted when text is copied from the label to the clipboard. |
