Properties

alignment INTEGER

One of the following "ta::XXX" constants:

        ta::Left
        ta::Center
        ta::Right
    

Selects the horizontal text alignment.

Default value: "ta::Left"

autoHeight BOOLEAN

If 1, the widget height is automatically changed as text extensions change.

Default value: 0

autoWidth BOOLEAN

If 1, the widget width is automatically changed as text extensions change.

Default value: 1

focusLink WIDGET

Points to a widget or a widget name (has to be a sibling widget), which is explicitly focused when the user presses the combination of a hot key with the "Alt" key.

Prima::Label does not provide a separate property to access the hot key value, however it can be read from the "{accel}" variable.

Default value: "undef".

hotKey CHAR

A key that the label will react to if pressed, even when out of focus.

showAccelChar BOOLEAN

If 0, the tilde ( ~ ) character is collapsed from the text, and the hot character is underlined. When the user presses combination of the escaped character with the "Alt" key, the "focusLink" widget is explicitly focused.

If 1, the text is showed as is, and no hot character is underlined. Key combinations with "Alt" key are not recognized. See also: "hotKey".

Default value: 0

showPartial BOOLEAN

Used to determine if the last line of text should be drawn if it can not be vertically fit in the widget interior. If 1, the last line is shown even if not visible in full. If 0, only full lines are drawn.

Default value: 1

textJustify $BOOL | { letter => 0, word => 0, kashida => 0, min_kashida => 0 } | %VALUES

If set, justifies wrapped text according to the option passwd in the hash ( see "arabic_justify" in Prima::Drawable::Glyphs and "interspace_justify" in Prima::Drawable::Glyphs ). Can accept three forms:

If anonymous hash is used, overwrites all the currently defined options.

If $BOOL is used, treated as a shortcut for "{ letter => $BOOL, word => $BOOL, kashida => $BOOL }"; consequent get-calls return full hash, not the $BOOL.

If %VALUES form is used, overwrites only values found in %VALUES.

Only actual when "wordWrap" is set.

textDirection BOOLEAN

If set, indicates RTL text direction.

wordWrap BOOLEAN

If 1, the text is wrapped if it can not be horizontally fit in the widget interior.

If 0, the text is not wrapped unless new line characters are present in the text.

New line characters signal line wrapping with no respect to "wordWrap" property value.

Default value: 0

valignment INTEGER

One of the following "ta::XXX" constants:

        ta::Top
        ta::Middle or ta::Center
        ta::Bottom
    

Selects the vertical text alignment.

NB: "ta::Middle" value is not equal to "ta::Center"'s, however the both constants produce equal effect here.

Default value: "ta::Top"
