provides a text or image display.</p>
<p>QLabel is used for displaying text or an image. No user
interaction functionality is provided. The visual appearance of the
label can be configured in various ways, and it can be used for
specifying a focus mnemonic key for another widget.</p>
<p>A QLabel can contain any of the following content types:</p>
<table class="generic">
<thead>
<tr class="qt-style">
<th>Content</th>
<th>Setting</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tr class="odd" valign="top">
<td>Plain text</td>
<td>Pass a <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> to <a href="qlabel.html#text-prop">setText</a>().</td>
</tr>
<tr class="even" valign="top">
<td>Rich text</td>
<td>Pass a <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> that contains rich
text to <a href="qlabel.html#text-prop">setText</a>().</td>
</tr>
<tr class="odd" valign="top">
<td>A pixmap</td>
<td>Pass a <a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a> to <a href="qlabel.html#pixmap-prop">setPixmap</a>().</td>
</tr>
<tr class="even" valign="top">
<td>A movie</td>
<td>Pass a <a href="qmovie.html">QMovie</a> to <a href="qlabel.html#setMovie">setMovie</a>().</td>
</tr>
<tr class="odd" valign="top">
<td>A number</td>
<td>Pass an <i>int</i> or a <i>double</i> to <a href="qlabel.html#setNum">setNum</a>(), which converts the number to
plain text.</td>
</tr>
<tr class="even" valign="top">
<td>Nothing</td>
<td>The same as an empty plain text. This is the default. Set by
<a href="qlabel.html#clear">clear</a>().</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p><b>Warning:</b> When passing a <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> to the constructor or calling <a href="qlabel.html#text-prop">setText</a>(), make sure to sanitize your
input, as QLabel tries to guess whether it displays the text as
plain text or as rich text. You may want to call <a href="qlabel.html#textFormat-prop">setTextFormat</a>() explicitly, e.g.
in case you expect the text to be in plain format but cannot
control the text source (for instance when displaying data loaded
from the Web).</p>
<p>When the content is changed using any of these functions, any
previous content is cleared.</p>
<p>By default, labels display <a href="qlabel.html#alignment-prop">left-aligned, vertically-centered</a>
text and images, where any tabs in the text to be displayed are
<a href="qt.html#TextFlag-enum">automatically expanded</a>.
However, the look of a QLabel can be adjusted and fine-tuned in
several ways.</p>
<p>The positioning of the content within the QLabel widget area can
be tuned with <a href="qlabel.html#alignment-prop">setAlignment</a>() and <a href="qlabel.html#indent-prop">setIndent</a>(). Text content can also
wrap lines along word boundaries with <a href="qlabel.html#wordWrap-prop">setWordWrap</a>(). For example, this
code sets up a sunken panel with a two-line text in the bottom
right corner (both lines being flush with the right side of the
label):</p>
<pre class="cpp">
<span class="type">QLabel</span> <span class="operator">*</span>label <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="keyword">new</span> <span class="type">QLabel</span>(<span class="keyword">this</span>);
label<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span><a href="qframe.html#setFrameStyle">setFrameStyle</a>(<span class="type"><a href="qframe.html">QFrame</a></span><span class="operator">.</span>Panel <span class="operator">|</span> <span class="type"><a href="qframe.html">QFrame</a></span><span class="operator">.</span>Sunken);
label<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span><a href="qlabel.html#text-prop">setText</a>(<span class="string">"first line\nsecond line"</span>);
label<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span><a href="qlabel.html#alignment-prop">setAlignment</a>(<span class="type"><a href="qt.html">Qt</a></span><span class="operator">.</span>AlignBottom <span class="operator">|</span> <span class="type"><a href="qt.html">Qt</a></span><span class="operator">.</span>AlignRight);
</pre>
<p>The properties and functions QLabel inherits from <a href="qframe.html">QFrame</a> can also be used to specify the widget
frame to be used for any given label.</p>
<p>A QLabel is often used as a label for an interactive widget. For
this use QLabel provides a useful mechanism for adding an mnemonic
(see <a href="qkeysequence.html">QKeySequence</a>) that will set
the keyboard focus to the other widget (called the QLabel's
"buddy"). For example:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
<span class="type"><a href="qlineedit.html">QLineEdit</a></span><span class="operator">*</span> phoneEdit <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="keyword">new</span> <span class="type"><a href="qlineedit.html">QLineEdit</a></span>(<span class="keyword">this</span>);
<span class="type">QLabel</span><span class="operator">*</span> phoneLabel <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="keyword">new</span> <span class="type">QLabel</span>(<span class="string">"&Phone:"</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="keyword">this</span>);
phoneLabel<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span><a href="qlabel.html#setBuddy">setBuddy</a>(phoneEdit);
</pre>
<p>In this example, keyboard focus is transferred to the label's
buddy (the <a href="qlineedit.html">QLineEdit</a>) when the user
presses Alt+P. If the buddy was a button (inheriting from <a href="qabstractbutton.html">QAbstractButton</a>), triggering the
mnemonic would emulate a button click.</p>

<p>When the user presses the shortcut key indicated by this label,
the keyboard focus is transferred to the label's buddy widget.</p>
<p>The buddy mechanism is only available for QLabels that contain
text in which one character is prefixed with an ampersand, '&'.
This character is set as the shortcut key. See the <a href="qkeysequence.html#mnemonic">QKeySequence.mnemonic</a>()
documentation for details (to display an actual ampersand, use
'&&').</p>
<p>In a dialog, you might create two data entry widgets and a label
for each, and set up the geometry layout so each label is just to
the left of its data entry widget (its "buddy"), for example:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
<span class="type"><a href="qlineedit.html">QLineEdit</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>nameEd <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="keyword">new</span> <span class="type"><a href="qlineedit.html">QLineEdit</a></span>(<span class="keyword">this</span>);

phoneLb<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span>setBuddy(phoneEd);
<span class="comment">// (layout setup not shown)</span>
</pre>
<p>With the code above, the focus jumps to the Name field when the
user presses Alt+N, and to the Phone field when the user presses
Alt+P.</p>
