Labeled

displays expr labeled with lbl.

places lbl at a position specified by pos.

places the

at positions

.

Labeled[expr, {lbl₁, lbl₂, lbl₃, lbl₄}, All]
places the

at the bottom, left, top, and right, respectively.

MORE INFORMATION

Labeled can be used with graphics or any other expression.

Possible forms for the are:

	side	centered on the specified side
	{side,align}	on the specified side with the specified alignment

Possible forms for side include Bottom, Left, Top, Right.

Possible forms for align include Center, Left, Right, Bottom, Top.

In charting functions such as BarChart and PieChart, certain additional special positions such as and are supported.

Labeled is equivalent to Labeled[expr, lbls, {Bottom, Left, Top, Right}].

The effective default for pos is normally Bottom.

Labeled does not affect linewrapping of expr.

The following options can be given:

	Alignment	{Center,Baseline}	horizontal and vertical alignment of elements
	Background	None	what background colors to use
	BaselinePosition	Automatic	what to align with a surrounding text baseline
	BaseStyle	{}	base style specifications for the labeled expression
	Frame	None	whether to draw a frame
	FrameMargins	0	margins to leave inside the frame
	FrameStyle	Automatic	styles to use for frames
	ImageMargins	0	margins to add outside the display area
	ImageSize	Automatic	the overall image size of the display area
	LabelStyle	{}	style specifications for labels
	RotateLabel	False	whether to rotate left and right labels
	RoundingRadius	0	radius for rounded corners
	Spacings	Automatic	horizontal and vertical label spacings

The settings for BaseStyle and LabelStyle are appended to the default styles typically given by the and styles in the current stylesheet.

Basic Examples (2)

Create a label:

Label on the left:

Label on the left and top:

Create a label:

Out[1]=

Out[2]=

Label on the left:

Out[1]=

Label on the left and top:

Out[2]=

Label a graphic:

Label a slider:

Use a checkbox as a label:

Control the placement of labels:

Put the label at the bottom, aligned left:

Put the label on the right, aligned at the top:

Use graphics as labels:

Adjust the alignment of the labeled expression:

Change the overall background color:

Align with surrounding text:

By default, editing of labels and expressions is allowed:

Disallow editing:

Frame only the expression, not the label:

Add space within the frame:

FrameMargins also increases the area to which Background applies:

Change the color of the frame:

Add margins around the labeled expression:

Specify different margins for each side:

Specify the overall size:

Style the label:

Use Directive to specify compound styles:

Automatically rotate vertical labels:

Specify that vertical labels should not be rotated:

Round the corners of the frame:

Add horizontal spacing between the expression and the label:

Specify vertical spacing:

Use both vertical and horizontal spacing:

Applications (2)

Label images with checkboxes, potentially for later processing:

Create an active label:
