                        keeps the checkbox and unchecks it. This property can be used to display
                        items indicating the state of particular options.

                        given as a real vector, ie [R,G,B] or a string where each value is

                        get(0).showhiddenhandles == "on" is stronger.

                    <para>
                        This property represents the text appearing in the menu.
                        If the text is enclosed between two $ (dollar sign), then it will be
                        considered as a LaTeX expression. If it is enclosed between &lt; and &gt;,
                        it will be considered as a MathML one.

                    <para>
                        If the text value starts with <literal>&lt;html></literal>, then
                        all HTML-4 tags used in the label afterward are interpreted.
                        This allows for instance to use HTML styling tags like &lt;b>..&lt;/>
                        for bold, &lt;span color="red">..&lt;/span> to use a red font, etc.

                        This property is generally used to identify the menu. It allows to give
                        it a "name". Mainly used in conjunction with <literal>findobj()</literal>.

                        In order to be easily extensible and portable, using a structure with
                        fields is advised. [] is set by default.

                        property is set to <literal>"off"</literal>, the uimenu will not appear
