Copying

Label* get_copy (void)

const Function

Creates a copy of the Label and returns a pointer to the copy. Called in Picture::operator=() and Picture::operator+=() where Pictures are copied. Users should never need to call this function directly. See Picture Reference; Operators. This function dynamically allocates a new Label and a new Point within the Label, and copies the strings from *this to the new Label. The standard library functions for strings take care of the allocation for the string members of Label.
