40.3.4.1 label

A label is a simple widget for displaying a single line of text. An example of creating an instance of a label is

     label .l -text "Hello world!"

which simply creates the label named .l with the text `Hello world!' displayed in it. Most widgets that display text can have a variable associated with them through the option -textvariable. When the value of the variable is changed the text changes in the associated label. For example,

     label .l -text "Hello world!" -textvariable mytext

creates a text label called .l displaying the initial text `Hello world!' and associated text variable mytext; mytext will start with the value `Hello world!'. However, if the following script is executed:

     set mytext "Goodbye moon!"

then magically the text in the label will change to `Goodbye moon!'.
