How can I dynamically attach a scripting label to a newly created item in basil.js?

Question

Is there a way to add scripting labels to PageItems that are created in code, i.e. without using the Scripting Label panel? My code looks like this: var tf = b.text("Hello World", 200, 200, 300, 300);

Answer 1

Yes, there are 2 ways for a script to add a "script label" to a page item, such as a rectangle.

Method 1: use insertLabel / extractLabel:

myRect.insertLabel( key: string, value:string );

myString = myRect.extractLabel( key:string );

Method 2:

myRect.label = myString;

myString = myRect.label;
