Its functionality is very similar to the one provided by the Label widget, except that it can also automatically wrap the text, maintaining a given width or aspect ratio.
Here is the simple syntax to create this widget −
w = Message ( master, option, ... )

master − This represents the parent window.
master − This represents the parent window.
options − Here is the list of most commonly used options for this widget. These options can be used as key-value pairs separated by commas.

textvariable
To slave the text displayed in a label widget to a control variable of class StringVar, set this option to that variable.
underline
You can display an underline (_) below the nth letter of the text, counting from 0, by setting this option to n. The default is underline=-1, which means no underlining.
width
Width of the label in characters (not pixels!). If this option is not set, the label will be sized to fit its contents.
wraplength
You can limit the number of characters in each line by setting this option to the desired number. The default value, 0, means that lines will be broken only at newlines.
