#### 15.4.4 Remarks

No interaction takes place with text objects.

Don’t use boxtype `FL_NO_BOX` if the text is to change dynamically. Note that there is almost no difference between a box with a label and a text. The only difference lies in the position where the text is placed and the fact that text is clipped to the bounding box. Text is normally placed inside the box at the left side. This helps you putting different lines of text below each other. Labels inside boxes are default centered in the box. You can change the position of the text inside the box using the routine `fl_set_object_lalign()`. In contrast to boxes different alignments for text always place the text inside the box rather than outside the box.
