Property Descriptions

AutowrapMode autowrap_mode = 0

• void set_autowrap_mode ( AutowrapMode value )

• AutowrapMode get_autowrap_mode ( )

If set to something other than TextServer.AUTOWRAP_OFF, the text gets wrapped inside the node's bounding rectangle. If you resize the node, it will change its height automatically to show all the text. To see how each mode behaves, see AutowrapMode.

---

bool clip_text = false

• void set_clip_text ( bool value )

• bool is_clipping_text ( )

If true, the Label only shows the text that fits inside its bounding rectangle and will clip text horizontally.

---

HorizontalAlignment horizontal_alignment = 0

• void set_horizontal_alignment ( HorizontalAlignment value )

• HorizontalAlignment get_horizontal_alignment ( )

Controls the text's horizontal alignment. Supports left, center, right, and fill, or justify. Set it to one of the HorizontalAlignment constants.

---

BitField<JustificationFlag> justification_flags = 163

• void set_justification_flags ( BitField<JustificationFlag> value )

• BitField<JustificationFlag> get_justification_flags ( )

Line fill alignment rules. For more info see JustificationFlag.

---

LabelSettings label_settings

• void set_label_settings ( LabelSettings value )

• LabelSettings get_label_settings ( )

A LabelSettings resource that can be shared between multiple Label nodes. Takes priority over theme properties.

---

String language = ""

• void set_language ( String value )

• String get_language ( )

Language code used for line-breaking and text shaping algorithms, if left empty current locale is used instead.

---

int lines_skipped = 0

• void set_lines_skipped ( int value )

• int get_lines_skipped ( )

The number of the lines ignored and not displayed from the start of the text value.

---

int max_lines_visible = -1

• void set_max_lines_visible ( int value )

• int get_max_lines_visible ( )

Limits the lines of text the node shows on screen.

---

StructuredTextParser structured_text_bidi_override = 0

• void set_structured_text_bidi_override ( StructuredTextParser value )

• StructuredTextParser get_structured_text_bidi_override ( )

Set BiDi algorithm override for the structured text.

---

Array structured_text_bidi_override_options = []

• void set_structured_text_bidi_override_options ( Array value )

• Array get_structured_text_bidi_override_options ( )

Set additional options for BiDi override.

---

PackedFloat32Array tab_stops = PackedFloat32Array()

• void set_tab_stops ( PackedFloat32Array value )

• PackedFloat32Array get_tab_stops ( )

Aligns text to the given tab-stops.
