14 See Tk::options for details of the standard options.
16
18 Name: background
19 Class: Background
20 Switch: -background
21 This option is the same as the standard background option except
22 that its value may also be specified as an undefined value. In
23 this case, the widget will display no background or border, and no
24 colors will be consumed from its colormap for its background and
25 border.
26 Name: colormap
28 Class: Colormap
29 Switch: -colormap
30 Specifies a colormap to use for the window. The value may be
31 either new, in which case a new colormap is created for the window
32 and its children, or the name of another window (which must be on
33 the same screen and have the same visual as $widget), in which case
34 the new window will use the colormap from the specified window. If
35 the colormap option is not specified, the new window uses the same
36 colormap as its parent. This option may not be changed with the
37 configure method.
38 Name: container
40 Class: Container
41 Switch: -container
42 The value must be a boolean. If true, it means that this window
43 will be used as a container in which some other application will be
44 embedded (for example, a Tk toplevel can be embedded using the -use
45 option). The window will support the appropriate window manager
46 protocols for things like geometry requests. The window should not
47 have any children of its own in this application. This option may
48 not be changed with the configure method.
49 Name: height
51 Class: Height
52 Switch: -height
53 Specifies the desired height for the window in any of the forms
54 acceptable to Tk_GetPixels. If this option is less than or equal
55 to zero then the window will not request any size at all.
56 Name: visual
58 Class: Visual
59 Switch: -visual
60 Specifies visual information for the new window in any of the forms
61 accepted by Tk_GetVisual. If this option is not specified, the new
62 window will use the same visual as its parent. The visual option
63 may not be modified with the configure method.
64 Name: width
66 Class: Width
67 Switch: -width
68 Specifies the desired width for the window in any of the forms
69 acceptable to Tk_GetPixels. If this option is less than or equal
70 to zero then the window will not request any size at all.
71
73 The Frame method creates a new window (given by the $widget argument)
74 and makes it into a frame widget. Additional options, described above,
75 may be specified on the command line or in the option database to
76 configure aspects of the frame such as its background color and relief.
77 The frame command returns the path name of the new window.
78 A frame is a simple widget. Its primary purpose is to act as a spacer
80 or container for complex window layouts. The only features of a frame
81 are its background color and an optional 3-D border to make the frame
82 appear raised or sunken.
83
85 The Frame method creates a widget object. This object supports the
86 configure and cget methods described in Tk::options which can be used
87 to enquire and modify the options described above. The widget also
88 inherits all the methods provided by the generic Tk::Widget class.
89
91 When a new frame is created, it has no default event bindings: frames
92 are not intended to be interactive.
