## 18.7 The Label Widget

Create a non-interactive label with the `Label` command.

>     $parentwidget->Label (options)

The standard configuration options that apply to `Label` are: `-anchor`, `-background`, `-bg`, `-bitmap`, `-borderwidth`, `-bd`, `-cursor`, `-font`, `-foreground`, `-fg`, `-height`, `-highlightbackground`, `-highlightcolor`, `-highlightthickness`, `-image`, `-justify`, `-padx`, `-pady`, `-relief`, `-takefocus`, `-underline`, `-width`, and `-wraplength`.

Other options are:

`-text => '``text``'`

  Defines the text string displayed in the label. See also `-textvariable`.

`-textvariable =>` `\$variable`

  Points to the variable containing text to be displayed in the label. Button text will change as `$variable` does.
