	</brief_description>
	<description>
		A control for displaying plain text. It gives you control over the horizontal and vertical alignment and can wrap the text inside the node's bounding rectangle. It doesn't support bold, italics, or other rich text formatting. For that, use [RichTextLabel] instead.

	<methods>
		<method name="get_character_bounds" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="Rect2" />
			<param index="0" name="pos" type="int" />
			<description>
				Returns the bounding rectangle of the character at position [param pos]. If the character is a non-visual character or [param pos] is outside the valid range, an empty [Rect2] is returned. If the character is a part of a composite grapheme, the bounding rectangle of the whole grapheme is returned.

		</method>
		<method name="get_line_count" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="int" />
			<description>
				Returns the number of lines of text the Label has.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_line_height" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="int" />
			<param index="0" name="line" type="int" default="-1" />
			<description>
				Returns the height of the line [param line].
				If [param line] is set to [code]-1[/code], returns the biggest line height.
				If there are no lines, returns font size in pixels.

		</method>
		<method name="get_total_character_count" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="int" />
			<description>
				Returns the total number of printable characters in the text (excluding spaces and newlines).
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_visible_line_count" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="int" />
			<description>
				Returns the number of lines shown. Useful if the [Label]'s height cannot currently display all lines.
