public class Label
extends LabelBase<java.lang.String>
implements HasDirectionalText, HasDirection, HasClickHandlers, HasDoubleClickHandlers, SourcesClickEvents, SourcesMouseEvents, HasAllDragAndDropHandlers, HasAllGestureHandlers, HasAllMouseHandlers, HasAllTouchHandlers, IsEditor<LeafValueEditor<java.lang.String>>
```
A widget that contains arbitrary text, not interpreted as HTML. This widget uses a <div> element, causing it to be displayed with block layout.

Built-in Bidi Text Support
This widget is capable of automatically adjusting its direction according to its content. This feature is controlled by LabelBase.setDirectionEstimator(boolean) or passing a DirectionEstimator parameter to the constructor, and is off by default.

CSS Style Rules
- .gwt-Label { }
Example
```
public class HTMLExample implements EntryPoint {

  public void onModuleLoad() {
    // Create a Label and an HTML widget.
    Label lbl = new Label("This is just text.  It will not be interpreted "
      + "as <html>.");

    HTML html = new HTML(
      "This is <b>HTML</b>.  It will be interpreted as such if you specify "
        + "the <span style='font-family:fixed'>asHTML</span> flag.", true);

    // Add them to the root panel.
    VerticalPanel panel = new VerticalPanel();
    panel.add(lbl);
    panel.add(html);
    RootPanel.get().add(panel);

@Deprecated
public void setDirection(HasDirection.Direction direction)
```
    Deprecated. Use LabelBase.setDirectionEstimator(boolean) and / or pass explicit direction to setText(java.lang.String) instead
    
    Sets the widget element's direction.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setDirection in interface HasDirection
    
    Parameters:
    
    direction - RTL if the directionality should be set to right-to-left, LTR if the directionality should be set to left-to-right DEFAULT if the directionality should not be explicitly set
  - setText
```
public void setText(java.lang.String text)
```
    Sets the label's content to the given text.
    Doesn't change the widget's direction or horizontal alignment if directionEstimator is null. Otherwise, the widget's direction is set using the estimator, and its alignment may therefore change as described in setText(String, Direction).
    
    Specified by:
    
    setText in interface HasText
    
    Parameters:
    
    text - the widget's new text
  - setText
```
public void setText(java.lang.String text,
                    HasDirection.Direction dir)
```
    Sets the label's content to the given text, applying the given direction.
    This will have the following effect on the horizontal alignment:
    - If the automatic alignment setting is ALIGN_CONTENT_START or ALIGN_CONTENT_END, the horizontal alignment will be set to match the start or end edge, respectively, of the new direction (the dir parameter). If that is DEFAULT, the locale direction is used.
    - Otherwise, the horizontal alignment value is not changed, but the effective alignment may nevertheless change according to the usual HTML rules, i.e. it will match the start edge of the new direction if the widget element is a <div> and has no explicit alignment value even by inheritance.
    Specified by:
    
    setText in interface HasDirectionalText
    
    Parameters:
    
    text - the widget's new text
    
    dir - the text's direction. Note: Direction.DEFAULT means direction should be inherited from the widget's parent element.
