Text Information Dialog

Use the --text-info option to create a text information dialog.

The text information dialog supports the following options:

--filename=filename

Specifies a file that is loaded in the text information dialog.

--editable

Allows the displayed text to be edited. The edited text is returned to standard output when the dialog is closed.

--font=FONT

Specifies the text font.

--checkbox=TEXT

Enable a checkbox for use like a 'I read and accept the terms.'

--html

Enable html support.

--url=URL

Sets an url instead of a file. Only works if you use --html option.

The following example script shows how to create a text information dialog: 

#!/bin/sh

# You must place file "COPYING" in same folder of this script.
FILE=`dirname $0`/COPYING

zenity --text-info \
       --title="License" \
       --filename=$FILE \
       --checkbox="I read and accept the terms."

case $? in
    0)
        echo "Start installation!"
	# next step
	;;
    1)
        echo "Stop installation!"
	;;
    -1)
        echo "An unexpected error has occurred."
	;;
esac
