The -text attribute is supplied to a Label widget, which is left-adjusted with -wraplength set to 4 inches. If you require different specifications then pass an array to -text; the first element is the text string and the remaining array elements are standard Label widget attributes - WidgetDemo will rearrange things as required..

-text => ['Hello World!', qw/-wraplength 6i/],
