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.tab] 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.
