NAME

       Curses::Widgets::Label - Label Widgets

MODULE VERSION

       $Id: Label.pm,v 1.102 2002/11/03 23:36:21 corliss Exp corliss $

SYNOPSIS

	 use Curses::Widgets::Label;

	 $lbl = Curses::Widgets::Label->new({
	   COLUMNS	=> 10,
	   LINES       => 1,
	   VALUE       => 'Name:',
	   FOREGROUND  => undef,
	   BACKGROUND  => 'black',
	   X	       => 1,
	   Y	       => 1,
	   ALIGNMENT   => 'R',
	   });

	 $tf->draw($mwh);

	 See the Curses::Widgets pod for other methods.

REQUIREMENTS

       Curses
       Curses::Widgets

DESCRIPTION

       Curses::Widgets::Label provides simplified OO access to Curses-based single or multi-line labels.

METHODS

       new (inherited from Curses::Widgets)

	 $lbl = Curses::Widgets::Label->new({
	   COLUMNS	=> 10,
	   LINES       => 1,
	   VALUE       => 'Name:',
	   FOREGROUND  => undef,
	   BACKGROUND  => 'black',
	   X	       => 1,
	   Y	       => 1,
	   ALIGNMENT   => 'R',
	   });

       The new method instantiates a new Label object.	The only mandatory key/value pairs in the configuration hash are X and Y.  All others have
       the following defaults:

	 Key	     Default   Description
	 ============================================================
	 COLUMNS	   10	Number of columns displayed
	 LINES		   1   Number of lines displayed
	 VALUE		  ''   Label text
	 FOREGROUND    undef   Default foreground colour
	 BACKGROUND    undef   Default background colour
	 ALIGNMENT	   L   'R'ight, 'L'eft, or 'C'entered

       If the label is a multi-line label it will filter the current VALUE through the Curses::Widgets::textwrap function to break it along white-
       space and newlines.

       draw

	 $tf->draw($mwh);

       The draw method renders the text field in its current state.  This requires a valid handle to a curses window in which it will render
       itself.
