pyui.create_label

Create a label or static text. Labels are most often used to label/describe another control. Sometimes, labels are used to display a value to the user (in this case, consider create_text_display()). And sometimes, labels stand on their, e.g., for some instruction text (in this case, consider using create_standalone_label as this might result in different spacing).
