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. |

| 6 |
set_selectable() If true, the text in the label can be selected for copy-paste |
