Label.ellipsize

pango.types.EllipsizeMode ellipsize() @property

Get ellipsize property.

Returns

The preferred place to ellipsize the string, if the label does

not have enough room to display the entire string.

Note that setting this property to a value other than pango.types.EllipsizeMode.None has the side-effect that the label requests only enough space to display the ellipsis "...". In particular, this means that ellipsizing labels do not work well in notebook tabs, unless the gtk.notebook_page.NotebookPage.tabExpand child property is set to true. Other ways to set a label's width are gtk.widget.Widget.setSizeRequest and gtk.label.Label.setWidthChars.

void ellipsize(pango.types.EllipsizeMode propval) @property

Parameters

propval The preferred place to ellipsize the string, if the label does not have enough room to display the entire string.
