Description

UIlabel displays read only text or a pixmap inside another object with a base class of UIwindow (UIpanel, etc.).

UIlabels cannot have subwindows.

To make the UIlabel a pixmap instead of a string label:

Set the value of pixmap.fileType in the inherited UIpixmap subobjects to one of the following:

UIlabel.pixmap.fileType = "avs_image"

This is an AVS.x image file format. Any other value for pixmap.fileType means an X bitmap.

UIlabel.pixmap.fileType = "x_bitmap"

This is an X bitmap file.

Set the value of pixmap.filename to a valid X bitmap file. For example:

UIlabel.pixmap.filename= "/usr/include/X11/bitmaps/xlogo64"

Alternately, connect UIlabel.pixmap.filename to a the filename subobject of a UIfileDialog to select a bitmap.

label

String. IPort2. Sets the text of the label.

labelPixmap

See UIpixmap .

font

String. Font string descriptor to use.

alignment

Enumerator. Controls the placement of the UIlabel.

0 = left aligned

1 = center aligned

2 = right aligned

accelerator

String. Sets the accelerator on a UIcmd in a menu. An accelerator is a keystroke combination that will perform the UIcmd's action, in lieu of selecting the UIcmd menu item. The string describes a set of modifiers and the key that can be used to select the item. The format required is identical to that of the Motif translation manager, except that only a single event can be specified and only KeyPress events are allowed.

acceleratorText

String. Specifies the text displayed for the accelerator. The text is displayed beside the label string or pixmap.
