NAME
       frame - Create and manipulate frame widgets

SYNOPSIS
       frame pathName ?options?

STANDARD OPTIONS
       -borderwidth    -highlightbackground	      -highlightthickness-takefocus
       -cursor	       -highlightcolor		      -relief

       See the options manual entry for details on the standard options.

WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS
       [-background background]	 This option is the same as the standard back‐
       ground 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.	 [-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  wid‐
       get  command.  [-colormap 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	 path‐
       Name),  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.
       [-container container] The value must be a boolean.  If true, it	 means │
       that this window will be used as a container in which some other appli‐ │
       cation 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.   [-height height]
       Specifies the desired height for the window in any of the forms accept‐
       able to Tk_GetPixels.  If this option is less than  or  equal  to  zero
       then  the  window  will	not request any size at all.  [-visual 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.	[-width width]
       Specifies the desired width for the window in any of the forms  accept‐
       able  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 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  con‐
       figure  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.

WIDGET COMMAND
       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 avail‐
	      able 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.

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