STANDARD OPTIONS
       -activebackground     -disabledforeground  -padx
       -activeforeground     -font		  -pady
       -anchor		     -foreground	  -relief

       -cursor		     -justify		  -wraplength

       See the options manual entry for details on the standard options.

WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS
       [-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 Tk_GetPixels); for text it
       is in lines of text.  If this option  is	 not  specified,  the  label's
       desired height is computed from the size of the image or bitmap or text
       being displayed in it.  [-state state] Specifies one  of	 three	states
       for  the label:	normal, active, or disabled.  In normal state the but‐
       ton is displayed using  the  foreground	and  background	 options.   In
       active  state  the  label  is  displayed using the activeForeground and
       activeBackground options.  In the disabled state the disabledForeground
       and   background	  options  determine  how  the	button	is  displayed.
       [-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 Tk_GetPixels); for  text  it
       is in characters.  If this option is not specified, the label's desired
       width is computed from the size of the image or bitmap  or  text	 being
       displayed in it.

DESCRIPTION
       The label command creates a new window (given by the pathName 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 con‐
       figure aspects of the label such as its colors, font, text, and initial
       relief.	 The label command returns its pathName argument.  At the time
       this command is invoked, there must not exist a window named  pathName,
       but pathName's parent must exist.

       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 wrapLength option) and one of the	 char‐
       acters  may  optionally	be underlined using the underline option.  The
       label can be manipulated in a few simple ways,  such  as	 changing  its
       relief or text, using the commands described below.

WIDGET COMMAND
       The  label  command  creates  a new Tcl command whose name is pathName.
       This command may be used to invoke various operations  on  the  widget.
       It has the following general form:
	      pathName option ?arg arg ...?
       Option  and  the args determine the exact behavior of the command.  The
       following commands are possible for label widgets:

       pathName cget option
	      Returns the current value of the configuration option  given  by
	      option.  Option may have any of the values accepted by the label
	      command.

       pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?
	      Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.	If  no
	      option is specified, returns a list describing all of the avail‐
	      able options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for  information
	      on  the  format  of  this list).	If option is specified with no
	      value, 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 option is  specified).   If  one  or
	      more option-value 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.  Option may have any
	      of the values accepted by the label command.

BINDINGS
       When a new label is created, it has no default event  bindings:	labels
       are not intended to be interactive.

EXAMPLE
	      # Make the widgets
	      label .t -text "This widget is at the top"    -bg red
	      label .b -text "This widget is at the bottom" -bg green
	      label .l -text "Left\nHand\nSide"
	      label .r -text "Right\nHand\nSide"
	      text .mid
	      .mid insert end "This layout is like Java's BorderLayout"
	      # Lay them out
	      pack .t	-side top    -fill x
	      pack .b	-side bottom -fill x
	      pack .l	-side left   -fill y
	      pack .r	-side right  -fill y
	      pack .mid -expand 1    -fill both
