DESCRIPTION
The canvasLabel class brings some Tk label widget functionality to the canvas text item, such as a
background and a border.
The canvasLabel is built with a bullet rectangle on the left side of the text. The relief changes
according to the select state, with a traditionally sunken relief when selected.
The label has a specific tag, which can be used to retrieve the coordinates of the object or move it,
thanks to the canvas facilities.
stooop::new canvasLabel canvas ?options?
Creates a canvasLabel object in the specified Tk canvas. The canvasLabel object identifier is
returned (referred to as canvasLabelObject in this document).
switched::configure canvasLabelObject ?options?
Configures a canvasLabel object or returns all the options with their current values if no options
are passed as parameters.
switched::cget canvasLabelObject option
Returns an option value for the specified canvasLabel object.
stooop::delete canvasLabelObject
Deletes the specified canvasLabel object.
