This section introduces two of the least complex but most common Pivot components:
<tt>Label</tt> and <tt>ImageView</tt>. Labels are used to present a block of static,
optionally wrapped, text, and image views are used to display a static graphic. The
applet below shows an <tt>ImageView</tt> followed by a <tt>Label</tt>:
</p>
<application class="org.apache.pivot.wtk.ScriptApplication"
width="120" height="40">
<libraries>
<library>core</library>
<library>wtk</library>
<library>wtk-terra</library>
<library>tutorials</library>
</libraries>
<startup-properties>
<src>/org/apache/pivot/tutorials/labels/labels.bxml</src>
</startup-properties>
</application>
<p>
Below is the BXML source used to generate the applet's contents:
</p>
<source type="xml" location="org/apache/pivot/tutorials/labels/labels.bxml">
<![CDATA[
<Window title="Labels" maximized="true"
xmlns:bxml="http://pivot.apache.org/bxml"
xmlns="org.apache.pivot.wtk">
<BoxPane styles="{padding:4, verticalAlignment:'center'}">
<ImageView image="/org/apache/pivot/tutorials/clock.png"/>
<Label text="What time is it?"/>
</BoxPane>
</Window>
]]>
</source>
<p>
Note that the example uses a <tt>BoxPane</tt> to arrange the components
horizontally. The <tt>BoxPane</tt> container is discussed in more detail in the
<a href="layout-containers.html">Layout Containers</a> section.
