12 The TixLabelFrame class is derived from the TixLabelWidget class and
13 inherits all the commands, options and subwidgets of its super-class.
14
16 The LabelFrame widget supports all the standard options of a frame wid‐
17 get. See the options(n) manual entry for details on the standard
18 options.
19
21 [-label label] Specifies the string to display as the label of this
22 LabelFrame widget. [-labelside labelSide] Specifies where the label
23 should be displayed relative to the entry subwidget. Valid options are:
24 top, left, right, bottom, none or acrosstop. [-padx padX] Specifies
25 the amount of the horizontal padding around the frame subwidget. Must
26 be a valid non-negative integer number. [-pady padY] Specifies the
27 amount of the vertical padding around the frame subwidget.

41 The tixLabelFrame command creates a new window (given by the pathName
42 argument) and makes it into a LabelFrame widget. Additional options,
43 described above, may be specified on the command line or in the option
44 database to configure aspects of the LabelFrame such as its cursor and
45 relief.
46
48 The LabelFrame widget packages a frame widget and a label into one mega
49 widget. To create widgets inside a LabelFrame widget, one must create
50 the new widgets relative to the frame subwidget and manage them inside
51 the frame subwidget. An error will be generated if one tries to create
52 widgets as immediate children of the LabelFrame. For example: the fol‐
53 lowing is correct code, which creates new widgets inside the frame sub‐
54 widget:
55 tixLabelFrame .f set f [.f subwidget frame] button $f.b -text hi pack
57 $f.b
58 The following example code is incorrect because it tries to create
60 immediate children of the LabelFrame .f:
61 tixLabelFrame .f # wrong! button .f.b -text hi pack .f.b
63
65 The tixLabelFrame command creates a new Tcl command whose name is the
66 same as the path name of the LabelFrame's window. This command may be
67 used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the following
68 general form:
69 pathName option ?arg arg ...?
70 PathName is the name of the command, which is the same as the Label‐
71 Frame widget's path name. Option and the args determine the exact
72 behavior of the command. The following commands are possible for Label‐
73 Frame widgets:
74 pathName cget option
76 Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
77 option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the tixLa‐
78 belFrame command.
79 pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?
81 Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If no
82 option is specified, returns a list describing all of the avail‐
83 able options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information
84 on the format of this list). If option is specified with no
85 value, then the command returns a list describing the one named
86 option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist
87 of the value returned if no option is specified). If one or
88 more option-value pairs are specified, then the command modifies
89 the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in this
90 case the command returns an empty string. Option may have any
91 of the values accepted by the tixLabelFrame command.
92 pathName subwidget name ?args?
94 When no options are given, this command returns the pathname of
95 the subwidget of the specified name.
96 When options are given, the widget command of the specified subwidget
98 will be called with these options.
