• truncationMode : enumeration

Detailed Description

The Label type provides a Sailfish-styled text label. The default color, font family and font size are set according to the current ambience.

The label text is simply set with the text property:

 import Sailfish.Silica 1.0

 Label {
     text: "Hello, world!"
 }

When choosing different colors or font properties it is recommended that the values exposed by the Theme object are used. For example:

 import Sailfish.Silica 1.0

 Label {
     text: "Hello, world!"
     color: Theme.highlightColor
     font.family: Theme.fontFamilyHeading
 }

See the Theme documentation for guidelines on styling text colors and sizes in Sailfish OS.

Label inherits the QtQuick Text type, so any properties, signals and methods of Text (such as the color and font.family properties in the example above) are also available to Label objects. See the Text documentation for its full list of available properties, signals and methods.

In most cases Label should be used in preference to the Text type.

Default Text property values

Labels use the following Text property values by default:

• color: Theme.primaryColor
• font.pixelSize: Theme.fontSizeMedium
• textFormat: Text.PlainText
• elide: if the text is truncated with TruncationMode.Elide, this elides automatically according to the current horizontalAlignment, otherwise this is Text.ElideNone
