Labels & Image Views

This section introduces two of the least complex but most common Pivot components: Label and ImageView. Labels are used to present a block of static, optionally wrapped, text, and image views are used to display a static graphic. The applet below shows an ImageView followed by a Label:

Below is the BXML source used to generate the applet's contents:

            
            <Window title="Labels" maximized="true"
                xmlns:bxml="http://pivot.apache.org/bxml"
                xmlns="org.apache.pivot.wtk">
                <BoxPane styles="{padding:4, verticalAlignment:'center'}">
                    <ImageView image="/org/apache/pivot/tutorials/clock.png"/>
                    <Label text="What time is it?"/>
                </BoxPane>
            </Window>
            
        

Note that the example uses a BoxPane to arrange the components horizontally. The BoxPane container is discussed in more detail in the Layout Containers section.
