Hi all,
Is it really (I mean really REAL, VERIFIABLE, UNDENIABLE etc.) true
that one cannot accomodate more than one line of text on a
WIDGET_LABEL. Curiously, I never had the use to put multiple line of
text on a label ere now. Today I did, and I was surprized to learn
that it is not so (newline characters do not work).
So, what does one do when one needs to display information on a base
that may span many number of lines. I could have multiple labels, but
then I do not always know how many lines I am going to need. I could
do that in a WIDGET_TEXT with the sensitivity turned off: but that
would not quite look like a label does(or does not-for that matter). I
mean, what is the point of having a large label? Just to put text in
large fonts? I found a very old post(dated sometime in 1996)
confirming this inability.
I would like to hear confirmation from the present day gods of IDL
that things have not changed since. I would also love to hear from the
powers-that-be at IDL if they can condescend and vouchsafe this
feature for WIDGET_LABEL.Or is there a workaround, like I have always
found from the very helpful people in this group.
Thanking you,
Gaurav
