		Displays plain text in a line or wrapped inside a rectangle. For formatted text, use [RichTextLabel].
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		Label displays plain text on the screen. It gives you control over the horizontal and vertical alignment, and can wrap the text inside the node's bounding rectangle. It doesn't support bold, italics or other formatting. For that, use [RichTextLabel] instead.
		[b]Note:[/b] Contrarily to most other [Control]s, Label's [member Control.mouse_filter] defaults to [constant Control.MOUSE_FILTER_IGNORE] (i.e. it doesn't react to mouse input events). This implies that a label won't display any configured [member Control.hint_tooltip], unless you change its mouse filter.

			Controls the text's horizontal align. Supports left, center, right, and fill, or justify. Set it to one of the [enum Align] constants.

		<member name="autowrap_mode" type="int" setter="set_autowrap_mode" getter="get_autowrap_mode" enum="Label.AutowrapMode" default="0">
			If set to something other than [constant 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 [enum AutowrapMode].
		</member>
		<member name="clip_text" type="bool" setter="set_clip_text" getter="is_clipping_text" default="false">
			If [code]true[/code], the Label only shows the text that fits inside its bounding rectangle and will clip text horizontally.

		<member name="language" type="String" setter="set_language" getter="get_language" default="&quot;&quot;">
			Language code used for line-breaking and text shaping algorithms, if left empty current locale is used instead.
