Class PLabel

---

PComponent
   |
   --PTextComponent
      |
      --PLabel

A display area for a short text string or an image, or both. A label does not react to input events. 
 As a result, it cannot get the keyboard focus. A label can, however, display a keyboard alternative 
 as a convenience for a nearby component that has a keyboard alternative but can't display it. 

 A JLabel object can display either text, an image, or both. You can specify where in the label's 
 display area the label's contents are aligned by setting the vertical and horizontal alignment. 
 By default, labels are vertically centered in their display area. Text-only labels are leading 
 edge aligned, by default; image-only labels are horizontally centered, by default. 

 You can also specify the position of the text relative to the image. By default, text is on the 
 trailing edge of the image, with the text and image vertically aligned. 

 A label's leading and trailing edge are determined from the value of its ComponentOrientation 
 property. At present, the default ComponentOrientation setting maps the leading edge to left and 
 the trailing edge to right. 

 Finally, you can use the setIconTextGap method to specify how many pixels should appear between the 
 text and the image. The default is 4 pixels. 

 Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The 
 current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications 
 running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeansTM has 
 been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.
