Label

With the Label object you are able to add some text.

By default label's width is auto sizing based on the length of the text. If you change the size with setSize it will automatically stop autosizing the width.

Here are all possible functions available for labels.
Remember label inherits from object:

setText

sets the text which gets displayed.

local mainFrame = basalt.createFrame("myFirstFrame"):show()
local aInput = mainFrame:addLabel("myFirstLabel"):setText("Hello lovely basalt community!"):show()

arguments: string text
returns: self

setFontSize

sets the font size of that text.

local mainFrame = basalt.createFrame("myFirstFrame"):show()
local aInput = mainFrame:addLabel("myFirstLabel"):setText("Hello"):setFontSize(2):show()

arguments: number size (1 = default, 2 = big, 3 = bigger, 4 = huge)
returns: self

getFontSize

returns the fontsize

local mainFrame = basalt.createFrame("myFirstFrame"):show()
local aInput = mainFrame:addLabel("myFirstLabel"):setText("Hello"):setFontSize(2):show()
basalt.debug(aInput:getFontSize()) -- returns 2

arguments:
returns: number
