17 Option: -background
18 Name: background
19 Class: Background
20 This option is the same as the standard background option except
21 that its value may also be specified as an empty string. In this
22 case, the widget will display no background or border, and no col‐
23 ors will be consumed from its colormap for its background and bor‐
24 der.
25 Option: -class
27 Name: class
28 Class: Class
29 Specifies a class for the window. This class will be used when
30 querying the option database for the window's other options, and it
31 will also be used later for other purposes such as bindings. The
32 class option may not be changed with the configure method.
33 Option: -colormap
35 Name: colormap
36 Class: Colormap
37 Specifies a colormap to use for the window. The value may be
38 either new, in which case a new colormap is created for the window
39 and its children, or the name of another window (which must be on
40 the same screen and have the same visual as $widget), in which case
41 the new window will use the colormap from the specified window. If
42 the colormap option is not specified, the new window uses the same
43 colormap as its parent. This option may not be changed with the
44 configure method.
45 Option: -container
47 Name: container
48 Class: Container
49 The value must be a boolean. If true, it means that this window
50 will be used as a container in which some other application will be
51 embedded (for example, a Tk toplevel can be embedded using the -use
52 option). The window will support the appropriate window manager
53 protocols for things like geometry requests. The window should not
54 have any children of its own in this application. This option may
55 not be changed with the configure method.
56 Option: -height
58 Name: height
59 Class: Height
60 Specifies the desired height for the window in any of the forms
61 acceptable to Tk_GetPixels. If this option is less than or equal
62 to zero then the window will not request any size at all.
63 Option: -labelanchor
65 Name: labelAnchor
66 Class: LabelAnchor
67 Specifies where to place the label. A label is only displayed if
68 the -text option is not the empty string. Valid values for this
69 option are (listing them clockwise) nw, n, ne, en, e, es, se, s,sw,
70 ws, w and wn. The default value is nw.
71 Option: -labelwidget
73 Name: labelWidget
74 Class: LabelWidget
75 Specifies a widget to use as label. This overrides any -text
76 option. The widget must exist before being used as -labelwidget and
77 if it is not a descendant of this window, it will be raised above
78 it in the stacking order.
79 Option: -visual
81 Name: visual
82 Class: Visual
83 Specifies visual information for the new window in any of the forms
84 accepted by Tk_GetVisual. If this option is not specified, the new
85 window will use the same visual as its parent. The visual option
86 may not be modified with the configure method.
87 Option: -width
89 Name: width
90 Class: Width
91 Specifies the desired width for the window in any of the forms
92 acceptable to Tk_GetPixels. If this option is less than or equal
93 to zero then the window will not request any size at all.

96 The Labelframe method creates a new window (given by the $labelframe
97 argument) and makes it into a Labelframe widget. Additional options,
98 described above, may be specified on the command line or in the option
99 database to configure aspects of the Labelframe such as its background
100 color and relief.
101 A Labelframe is a simple widget. Its primary purpose is to act as a
103 spacer or container for complex window layouts. It has the features of
104 a Frame plus the ability to display a label.
105
107 The Labelframe method may be used to invoke various operations on the
108 widget. It has the following general form:
109 $widget->method(?arg arg ...?);
111 The following methods are possible for Labelframe widgets:
113 $widget->cget(option);
115 Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
116 option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the Label‐
117 frame command.
118 $widget->configure(?option?, ?value, option, value, ...?);
120 Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If no
121 option is specified, returns a list describing all of the available
122 options for $widget (see Tk::configure for information on the for‐
123 mat of this list). If option is specified with no value, then the
124 command returns a list describing the one named option (this list
125 will be identical to the corresponding sublist of the value
126 returned if no option is specified). If one or more option-value
127 pairs are specified, then the command modifies the given widget
128 option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the command
129 returns an empty string. Option may have any of the values
130 accepted by the Labelframe command.
131
133 When a new Labelframe is created, it has no default event bindings:
134 Labelframes are not intended to be interactive.
