Notes

Labels with images or texts can not change its behavior after mapped. This is a creation attribute. But after creation the image can be changed for another image, and the text for another text.

Though this element can have the IMAGE attribute, it does not have attributes IMINACTIVE and IMPRESS, because it does not interact with the user through the mouse or keyboard.

The '\n' character is accepted for line change, but the initial size of the element is computed for one line only. In this case, the EXPAND attribute must be "YES" so that the text can be properly visualized.
