.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fBframe\fR command creates a new window (given by the
|
|
\fIpathName\fR argument) and makes it into a frame widget.
|
|
Additional
|
|
options, described above, may be specified on the command line
|
|
or in the option database
|
|
to configure aspects of the frame such as its background color
|
|
and relief. The \fBframe\fR command returns the
|
|
path name of the new window.
|
|
.PP
|
|
A frame is a simple widget. Its primary purpose is to act as a
|
|
spacer or container for complex window layouts. The only features
|
|
of a frame are its background color and an optional 3-D border to make the
|
|
frame appear raised or sunken.
|
|
.PP
|
|
In addition to the standard options listed above, a \fB\-class\fR
|
|
option may be specified on the command line. If it is specified, then
|
|
the new widget's class will be set to \fIclassName\fR instead of
|
|
\fBFrame\fR. Changing the class of a frame widget may be useful
|
|
in order to use a special class name in database options referring
|
|
to this widget and its children. Note: \fB\-class\fR is handled
|
|
differently than other command-line options and cannot be specified
|
|
using the option database (it has to be processed
|
|
before the other options are even looked up, since the new class
|
|
name will affect the lookup of the other options). In addition,
|
|
the \fB\-class\fR option may not be queried or changed using the
|
|
\fBconfig\fR command described below.
|
|
|
|
.SH "WIDGET COMMAND"
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fBframe\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose
|
|
name is the same as the path name of the frame's window. This
|
|
command may be used to invoke various
|
|
operations on the widget. It has the following general form:
|
|
.DS C
|
|
\fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
|
|
.DE
|
|
\fIPathName\fR is the name of the command, which is the same as
|
|
the frame widget's path name. \fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs
|
|
determine the exact behavior of the command. The following
|
|
commands are possible for frame widgets:
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fIpathName \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? \fI?value option value ...\fR?
|
|
Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.
|
|
If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of
|
|
the available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for
|
|
information on the format of this list). If \fIoption\fR is specified
|
|
with no \fIvalue\fR, then the command returns a list describing the
|
|
one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding
|
|
sublist of the value returned if no \fIoption\fR is specified). If
|
|
one or more \fIoption\-value\fR pairs are specified, then the command
|
|
modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in
|
|
this case the command returns an empty string.
|
|
\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBframe\fR
|
|
command.
|
|
|
|
.SH BINDINGS
|
|
.PP
|
|
When a new frame is created, it has no default event bindings:
|
|
frames are not intended to be interactive.
