11'\" The definitions below are for supplemental macros used in Tcl/Tk
12'\" manual entries.
13'\"
14'\" .AP type name in/out ?indent?
15'\" Start paragraph describing an argument to a library procedure.
16'\" type is type of argument (int, etc.), in/out is either "in", "out",
17'\" or "in/out" to describe whether procedure reads or modifies arg,
18'\" and indent is equivalent to second arg of .IP (shouldn't ever be
19'\" needed; use .AS below instead)
20'\"
21'\" .AS ?type? ?name?
22'\" Give maximum sizes of arguments for setting tab stops. Type and
23'\" name are examples of largest possible arguments that will be passed
24'\" to .AP later. If args are omitted, default tab stops are used.
25'\"
26'\" .BS
27'\" Start box enclosure. From here until next .BE, everything will be
28'\" enclosed in one large box.

38'\"
39'\" .VS ?version? ?br?
40'\" Begin vertical sidebar, for use in marking newly-changed parts
41'\" of man pages. The first argument is ignored and used for recording
42'\" the version when the .VS was added, so that the sidebars can be
43'\" found and removed when they reach a certain age. If another argument
44'\" is present, then a line break is forced before starting the sidebar.
45'\"
46'\" .VE
47'\" End of vertical sidebar.

61'\" End of list of standard options for a Tk widget.
62'\"
63'\" .OP cmdName dbName dbClass
64'\" Start of description of a specific option. cmdName gives the

259.SH "WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS"
260.OP \-background background Background
261This option is the same as the standard \fBbackground\fR option
262except that its value may also be specified as an empty string.
263In this case, the widget will display no background or border, and
264no colors will be consumed from its colormap for its background
265and border.
266.OP \-class class Class
267Specifies a class for the window.
268This class will be used when querying the option database for
269the window's other options, and it will also be used later for
270other purposes such as bindings.
271The \fBclass\fR option may not be changed with the \fBconfigure\fR
272widget command.
273.OP \-colormap colormap Colormap
274Specifies a colormap to use for the window.
275The value may be either \fBnew\fR, in which case a new colormap is
276created for the window and its children, or the name of another
277window (which must be on the same screen and have the same visual
278as \fIpathName\fR), in which case the new window will use the colormap
279from the specified window.
280If the \fBcolormap\fR option is not specified, the new window
281uses the same colormap as its parent.
282This option may not be changed with the \fBconfigure\fR
283widget command.
284.OP \-container container Container
285The value must be a boolean. If true, it means that this window will
286be used as a container in which some other application will be embedded
287(for example, a Tk toplevel can be embedded using the \fB\-use\fR option).
288The window will support the appropriate window manager protocols for
289things like geometry requests. The window should not have any
290children of its own in this application.
291This option may not be changed with the \fBconfigure\fR
292widget command.
293.OP \-height height Height
294Specifies the desired height for the window in any of the forms
295acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR.
296If this option is less than or equal to zero then the window will
297not request any size at all.
298.OP \-visual visual Visual
299Specifies visual information for the new window in any of the
300forms accepted by \fBTk_GetVisual\fR.
301If this option is not specified, the new window will use the same
302visual as its parent.
303The \fBvisual\fR option may not be modified with the \fBconfigure\fR
304widget command.
305.OP \-width width Width
306Specifies the desired width for the window in any of the forms
307acceptable to \fBTk_GetPixels\fR.
308If this option is less than or equal to zero then the window will
309not request any size at all.

312.SH DESCRIPTION
313.PP
314The \fBframe\fR command creates a new window (given by the
315\fIpathName\fR argument) and makes it into a frame widget.
316Additional
317options, described above, may be specified on the command line
318or in the option database
319to configure aspects of the frame such as its background color
320and relief. The \fBframe\fR command returns the
321path name of the new window.
322.PP
323A frame is a simple widget. Its primary purpose is to act as a
324spacer or container for complex window layouts. The only features
325of a frame are its background color and an optional 3-D border to make the
326frame appear raised or sunken.
327
328.SH "WIDGET COMMAND"
329.PP
330The \fBframe\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose
331name is the same as the path name of the frame's window. This
332command may be used to invoke various
333operations on the widget. It has the following general form:
334.CS
335\fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
336.CE
337\fIPathName\fR is the name of the command, which is the same as
338the frame widget's path name. \fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs
339determine the exact behavior of the command. The following
340commands are possible for frame widgets:
341.TP
342\fIpathName \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR
343Returns the current value of the configuration option given
344by \fIoption\fR.
345\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBframe\fR
346command.
347.TP
348\fIpathName \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? \fI?value option value ...\fR?
349Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.
350If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of
351the available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for
352information on the format of this list). If \fIoption\fR is specified
353with no \fIvalue\fR, then the command returns a list describing the
354one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding
355sublist of the value returned if no \fIoption\fR is specified). If
356one or more \fIoption\-value\fR pairs are specified, then the command
357modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in
358this case the command returns an empty string.
359\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBframe\fR
360command.
361
362.SH BINDINGS
363.PP
364When a new frame is created, it has no default event bindings:
365frames are not intended to be interactive.
