WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS
       Command-Line Name:-height
       Database Name:  height
       Database Class: 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 isn't  specified,
	      the  label's  desired  height  is computed from the
	      size of the image or bitmap or text being displayed
	      in it.

       Command-Line Name:-width
       Database Name:  width
       Database Class: 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 isn't 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 path-
       Name  argument)	and  makes it into a label widget.  Addi-
       tional options, described above, may be specified  on  the
       command	line  or  in  the  option  database  to configure
       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

label(n)	       Tk Built-In Commands		 label(n)

       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 sin-
       gle 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  characters  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 available options for path-
	      Name (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information  on  the
	      format  of this list).  If option is specified with
	      no value, then the command returns a list	 describ-
	      ing the one named option (this list will be identi-
	      cal 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 bind-
       ings: labels are not intended to be interactive.
