ellipsize

The preferred place to ellipsize the string, if the label does not have enough room to display the entire string.

Note that setting this property to a value other than %PANGO_ELLIPSIZE_NONE has the side-effect that the label requests only enough space to display the ellipsis "...". In particular, this means that ellipsizing labels do not work well in notebook tabs, unless the property@Gtk.NotebookPage:tab-expand child property is set to true. Other ways to set a label's width are method@Gtk.Widget.set_size_request and method@Gtk.Label.set_width_chars.
