If true, it means that this window will +be used as a container in which some other application will be embedded +(for example, a Tk toplevel can be embedded using the \fB\-use\fR option). +The window will support the appropriate window manager protocols for +things like geometry requests. The window should not have any +children of its own in this application. +This option may not be changed with the \fBconfigure\fR +widget command. +Note that \fB\-borderwidth\fR, \fB\-padx\fR and \fB\-pady\fR are ignored when +configured as a container since a container has no border. +.OP \-height height Height +Specifies the desired height for the window in any of the forms +acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR.

Normally \fB\-height\fR should not be used if a propagating +geometry manager, such as \fBgrid\fR or \fBpack\fR, is used within the +frame since the geometry manager will override the height of the frame. +.OP \-visual visual Visual +Specifies visual information for the new window in any of the +forms accepted by \fBTk_GetVisual\fR. +If this option is not specified, the new window will use the same +visual as its parent. +The \fB\-visual\fR option may not be modified with the \fBconfigure\fR +widget command. +.OP \-width width Width +Specifies the desired width for the window in any of the forms +acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR. If this option is less than or equal +to zero then the window will not request any size at all. Note that this +sets the total width of the frame, any \fB\-borderwidth\fR or similar is +not added. Normally \fB\-width\fR should not be used if a propagating +geometry manager, such as \fBgrid\fR or \fBpack\fR, is used within the +frame since the geometry manager will override the width of the frame. +.BE +.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. +.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: +.PP +.CS +\fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR? +.CE +.PP +\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 \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR +. +Returns the current value of the configuration option given +by \fIoption\fR. +\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBframe\fR +command. +.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. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +labelframe(n), toplevel(n), ttk::frame(n) +.SH KEYWORDS +frame, widget +'\" Local Variables: +'\" mode: nroff +'\" End: |
