  <code mime="text/x-python" style="numbered">from gi.repository import Gtk
import sys


class MyWindow(Gtk.ApplicationWindow):
    # constructor for a Gtk.ApplicationWindow

    def __init__(self, app):
        Gtk.Window.__init__(self, title="Welcome to GNOME", application=app)
        self.set_default_size(200, 100)

        # create a label
        label = Gtk.Label()
        # set the text of the label
        label.set_text("Hello GNOME!")
        # add the label to the window
        self.add(label)


class MyApplication(Gtk.Application):

    def __init__(self):
        Gtk.Application.__init__(self)

    def do_activate(self):
        win = MyWindow(self)
        win.show_all()

    def do_startup(self):
        Gtk.Application.do_startup(self)

app = MyApplication()
exit_status = app.run(sys.argv)
sys.exit(exit_status)
</code>

    <p>Another way to obtain what we have in the example is to create the label as an instance of another class and add it to the instance of <code>MyWindow</code> in the <code>do_activate(self)</code> method:</p>

      <p>The highlighted lines indicate code that is different from the previous snippet.</p>

  <note style="tip">
    <p>An explanation of how to work with strings in GTK+ can be found in <link xref="strings.py"/>.</p>
  </note>

  <list>
    <item><p><code>set_line_wrap(True)</code> breaks lines if the text of the label exceeds the size of the widget.</p></item>
    <item><p><code>set_justify(Gtk.Justification.LEFT)</code> (or <code>Gtk.Justification.RIGHT, Gtk.Justification.CENTER, Gtk.Justification.FILL</code>) sets the alignment of the lines in the text of the label relative to each other. The method has no effect on a single-line label.</p></item>
    <item><p>For decorated text we can use <code>set_markup("text")</code>, where <code>"text"</code> is a text in the <link href="http://developer.gnome.org/pango/stable/PangoMarkupFormat.html">Pango Markup Language</link>. An example:</p>
      <code mime="text/x-python"><![CDATA[
label.set_markup("Text can be <small>small</small>, <big>big</big>, "
                 "<b>bold</b>, <i>italic</i> and even point to somewhere "
                 "in the <a href=\"http://www.gtk.org\" "
                 "title=\"Click to find out more\">internets</a>.")]]></code>
