NAME

6       Tk::LabFrame - labeled frame.
7

SYNOPSIS

9        use Tk::LabFrame;
10
11        $f = $parent->LabFrame(?-label=>text, -labelside=>where, ...?);
12

DESCRIPTION

14       LabFrame is exactly like Frame and additionaly allows to add a label to
15       the frame.
16

WIDGET-OPTIONS

18       LabFrame supports the same options as the Frame widget.
19
20       Additional options of LabFrame are:
21
22       -font => font
23           Specifies the label's font
24
25       -foreground => color
26           Specifies the label's foreground color
27
28       -label => text
29           The text of the label to be placed with the Frame.
30
31       -labelside => where
32           Where can be one of left, right, top, bottom or acrosstop.  The
33           first four work as might be expected and place the label to the
34           left, right, above or below the frame respectively. The acrosstop
35           creates a grooved frame around the central frame and puts the label
36           near the northwest corner such that it appears to "overwrite" the
37           groove.
38
39       -labelvariable => scalar_ref
40           Specifies a reference to a variable and used as an alternative to
41           -label. If the value of the variable changes, then the widget will
42           be updated automatically to reflect the change. Used like
43           -textvariable.
44

EXAMPLE

58       Run the following test program to see this in action:
59
60           use strict;
61           use Tk;
62           require Tk::LabFrame;
63           require Tk::LabEntry;
64
65           my $test = 'Test this';
66           my $mw = Tk::MainWindow->new;
67           my $f = $mw->LabFrame(-label => "This is a label",
68                                  -labelside => "acrosstop");
69           $f->LabEntry(-label => "Testing", -textvariable => \$test)->pack;
70           $f->pack;
71           Tk::MainLoop;
72

BUGS

74       Perhaps LabFrame should be subsumed within the generic pTk labeled wid‐
75       get mechanism.
