Well, yes, I should have explained my reason as well. And maybe this is a bad idea. I was going to use them not as actual labels, but instead as a sort of spectrum display. Similar to one used on music players, but my data is not audio in this case. Anyway, I need about 100 on the x axis and 60+ on the y. so that's more than 4000 labels. I did the same thing with buttons and it failed the same exact way. Any suggestions maybe for a different way to have a 60x100 grid of items? I suppose I could do some sort of curses/ascii display, but I was hoping to have it more tk-ish.
