NAME

       Prima::Label - static text widget

DESCRIPTION

       The class is designed for display of text, and assumes no user interaction. The text output capabilities
       include wrapping, horizontal and vertical alignment, and automatic widget resizing to match text
       extension. If text contains a tilde-escaped ( hot ) character, the label can explicitly focus the
       specified widget upon press of the character key, what feature is useful for dialog design.

SYNOPSIS

               my $label = Prima::Label-> create(
                       text      => 'Enter ~name:',
                       focusLink => $name_inputline,
                       alignment => ta::Center,
               );

API

   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, 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".

       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.

           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

       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"
