A label is for adding simple text.
By default label's width is auto sizing based on the length of the text. If you change the size with setSize it will automatically stop autosizing the width.
The fontsize feature is calculated by bigfonts, a library made by Wojbie (http://www.computercraft.info/forums2/index.php?/topic/25367-bigfont-api-write-bigger-letters-v10/)
Here are all possible functions available for labels.<br>
Remember Label inherits from [Object](objects/Object.md)
