Is there a way to change the location the text for a Toggle object so that appears beside the checkbox instead of below it?

Thanks!

I usually just set the label to "" and draw my own text. setLabel("");

I have come up with a decent solution that seems to work:

Since the Toggle captionLabel shows up underneath the toggle button, I just changed the margins like so:

int buttonSize = 10;
Toggle t = controlP5.addToggle("theToggleName", true, x, y, buttonSize, buttonSize);
t.setLabel("The Toggle Name");
controlP5.Label l = t.captionLabel();
l.style().marginTop = -12; //move upwards (relative to button size)
l.style().marginLeft = 15; //move to the right
