- Command-Line Name: -background
- Database Name: background
- Database Class: Background
- This option is the same as the standard background
option except that its value may also be specified as an empty
string. 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.
- Command-Line Name: -class
- Database Name: class
- Database Class: Class
- Specifies a class for the window. This class will be used when
querying the option database for the window's other options, and it
will also be used later for other purposes such as bindings. The
class option may not be changed with the configure
widget command.
- Command-Line Name: -colormap
- Database Name: colormap
- Database Class: 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 pathName),
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 widget command.
- Command-Line Name: -container
- Database Name: container
- Database Class: 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 widget
command.
- Command-Line Name: -height
- Database Name: height
- Database Class: 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.
- Command-Line Name: -visual
- Database Name: visual
- Database Class: 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 widget command.
- Command-Line Name: -width
- Database Name: width
- Database Class: 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.
The frame command creates a new window (given by the
pathName 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 command creates a new Tcl command whose name is
the same as the path name of the frame's window. This command may
be used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the
following general form:
pathName option ?arg arg ...?
PathName is the name of the command, which is the same as
the frame widget's path name. Option and the args
determine the exact behavior of the command. The following commands
are possible for frame widgets:
- pathName cget
option
- Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
option. Option may have any of the values accepted by
the frame command.
- pathName configure ?option?
?value option value ...?
- Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If no
option is specified, returns a list describing all of the
available options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information
on the format of this list). If option is specified with no
value, then the command returns a list describing the one
named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding
sublist of the value returned if no option is specified). If
one or more option-value pairs are specified, then the
command modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given
value(s); in this case the command returns an empty string.
Option may have any of the values accepted by the
frame command.
When a new frame is created, it has no default event bindings:
frames are not intended to be interactive.
