## Detailed Description

Label extends Text with styling and font inheritance. The default colors and font are style specific. Label can also have a visual background item.

     Label {
         text: "Label"
     }

You can use the properties of Text to change the appearance of the text as desired:

     Label {
         text: "Hello world"
         font.pixelSize: 22
         font.italic: true
     }

## Property Documentation

background : Item

This property holds the background item.

Note: If the background item has no explicit size specified, it automatically follows the control's size. In most cases, there is no need to specify width or height for a background item.
