Node Label
==========

The *node label* is used by HUGIN to display as the label on the nodes. It does not need to be unique in the actual network. Initially, a node has no node label and HUGIN uses the :ref:`node name<node_name>` as the label. If you should want to assign a new node label to a node, it can be done in :ref:`Edit Mode<Edit_mode>` in the :ref:`Tables Pane<tables_pane>` or in the :ref:`node properties<node_properties>` dialog box.

Please beware of the different between the node label and the :ref:`node name<node_name>`.
