NAME¶
Tk::Frame - Create and manipulate Frame widgets
SYNOPSIS¶
$frame =
$parent->
Frame(?
options?);
STANDARD OPTIONS¶
-borderwidth -highlightbackground -highlightthickness -takefocus
-class -highlightcolor -relief -cursor
See Tk::options for details of the standard options.
- Name: background
- Class: Background
- Switch: -background
- This option is the same as the standard background
option except that its value may also be specified as an undefined value.
In this case, the widget will display no background or border, and no
colors will be consumed from its colormap for its background and
border.
- Name: colormap
- Class: Colormap
- Switch: -colormap
- Specifies a colormap to use for the window. The value may
be either new, in which case a new colormap is created for the
window and its children, or the name of another window (which must be on
the same screen and have the same visual as $widget), in which case the
new window will use the colormap from the specified window. If the
colormap option is not specified, the new window uses the same
colormap as its parent. This option may not be changed with the
configure method.
- Name: container
- Class: Container
- Switch: -container
- The value must be a boolean. 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 -use
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
configure method.
- Name: height
- Class: Height
- Switch: -height
- Specifies the desired height for the window in any of the
forms acceptable to Tk_GetPixels. If this option is less than or
equal to zero then the window will not request any size at all.
- Name: visual
- Class: Visual
- Switch: -visual
- Specifies visual information for the new window in any of
the forms accepted by Tk_GetVisual. If this option is not
specified, the new window will use the same visual as its parent. The
visual option may not be modified with the configure
method.
- Name: width
- Class: Width
- Switch: -width
- Specifies the desired width for the window in any of the
forms acceptable to Tk_GetPixels. If this option is less than or
equal to zero then the window will not request any size at all.
DESCRIPTION¶
The
Frame method creates a new window (given by the $widget 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
frame command
returns the path name of the new window.
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.
The
Frame method creates a widget object. This object supports the
configure and
cget methods described in Tk::options which can be
used to enquire and modify the options described above. The widget also
inherits all the methods provided by the generic Tk::Widget class.
BINDINGS¶
When a new frame is created, it has no default event bindings: frames are not
intended to be interactive.
