PROPERTIES

'angle' (double : default 0 : readable / writable / private / static-nick / static-blurb): Angle at which the label is rotated
'attributes' (Pango::AttrList : default undef : readable / writable / private / static-nick / static-blurb): A list of style attributes to apply to the text of the label
'cursor-position' (integer : default 0 : readable / private / static-nick / static-blurb): The current position of the insertion cursor in chars
'ellipsize' (Pango::EllipsizeMode : default "none" : readable / writable / private / static-nick / static-blurb): The preferred place to ellipsize the string, if the label does not have enough room to display the entire string
'justify' (Gtk2::Justification : default "left" : readable / writable / private / static-nick / static-blurb): The alignment of the lines in the text of the label relative to each other. This does NOT affect the alignment of the label within its allocation. See GtkMisc::xalign for that
'label' (string : default "" : readable / writable / private / static-nick / static-blurb): The text of the label
'max-width-chars' (integer : default -1 : readable / writable / private / static-nick / static-blurb): The desired maximum width of the label, in characters
'mnemonic-keyval' (Glib::UInt : default 0xFFFFFF VoidSymbol : readable / private / static-nick / static-blurb): The mnemonic accelerator key for this label
'mnemonic-widget' (Gtk2::Widget : default undef : readable / writable / private / static-nick / static-blurb): The widget to be activated when the label's mnemonic key is pressed
'pattern' (string : default undef : writable / private / static-nick / static-blurb): A string with _ characters in positions correspond to characters in the text to underline
'selectable' (boolean : default false : readable / writable / private / static-nick / static-blurb): Whether the label text can be selected with the mouse
'selection-bound' (integer : default 0 : readable / private / static-nick / static-blurb): The position of the opposite end of the selection from the cursor in chars
'single-line-mode' (boolean : default false : readable / writable / private / static-nick / static-blurb): Whether the label is in single line mode
'track-visited-links' (boolean : default true : readable / writable / private / static-nick / static-blurb): Whether visited links should be tracked
'use-markup' (boolean : default false : readable / writable / private / static-nick / static-blurb): The text of the label includes XML markup. See pango_parse_markup()
'use-underline' (boolean : default false : readable / writable / private / static-nick / static-blurb): If set, an underline in the text indicates the next character should be used for the mnemonic accelerator key
'width-chars' (integer : default -1 : readable / writable / private / static-nick / static-blurb): The desired width of the label, in characters
'wrap' (boolean : default false : readable / writable / private / static-nick / static-blurb): If set, wrap lines if the text becomes too wide
'wrap-mode' (Pango::WrapMode : default "word" : readable / writable / private / static-nick / static-blurb): If wrap is set, controls how linewrapping is done
