FRAME(9)							      FRAME(9)

NAME
       frame - Create and manipulate frame widgets

SYNOPSIS
       frame pathName ?options?

STANDARD OPTIONS
       -borderwidth -relief

WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS
       -background colour
	      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 colours will be consumed from its  colourmap  for  its	 back‐
	      ground and border.

       -height dist
	      Specifies	 the desired height for the window.  If this option is
	      less than or equal to zero then the window will not request  any
	      size at all.

       -width dist
	      Specifies	 the  desired width for the window.  If this option is
	      less than or equal to zero then the window will not request  any
	      size at all.

DESCRIPTION
       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 to configure aspects of the frame
       such as its background colour 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 colour and an optional 3-D border to make the frame
       appear raised or sunken.

WIDGET COMMAND
       The frame command creates a new Tk command  whose  name	is  pathName..
       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 behaviour
       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 of all of the available
	      options for pathName.  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.

BINDINGS
       When a new frame is created, it has no default event  bindings:	frames
       are not intended to be interactive.
