NAME


tixLabelFrame - Create and manipulate tixLabelFrame widgets






SYNOPSIS


tixLabelFrame pathName ?options?






SUPER-CLASS


The TixLabelFrame class is derived from the
    TixLabelWidget class and inherits all the commands, options and
    subwidgets of its super-class.






STANDARD OPTIONS


The LabelFrame widget supports all the standard options of a frame
    widget. See the options(n) manual entry for details on the standard
    options.






WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS


[-label label] Specifies the
    string to display as the label of this LabelFrame widget.
    [-labelside labelSide] Specifies where
    the label should be displayed relative to the entry subwidget. Valid options
    are: top, left, right, bottom, none or
    acrosstop. [-padx padX]
    Specifies the amount of the horizontal padding around the frame
    subwidget. Must be a valid non-negative integer number.
    [-pady padY] Specifies the amount of
    the vertical padding around the frame subwidget.

DESCRIPTION


The tixLabelFrame command creates a new window (given by
    the pathName argument) and makes it into a LabelFrame widget.
    Additional options, described above, may be specified on the command line or
    in the option database to configure aspects of the LabelFrame such as its
    cursor and relief.






CREATING WIDGETS INSIDE A LABELFRAME


The LabelFrame widget packages a frame widget and a label into one
    mega widget. To create widgets inside a LabelFrame widget, one must create
    the new widgets relative to the frame subwidget and manage them
    inside the frame subwidget. An error will be generated if one tries
    to create widgets as immediate children of the LabelFrame. For example: the
    following is correct code, which creates new widgets inside the frame
    subwidget:






tixLabelFrame .f
set f [.f subwidget frame]
button $f.b -text hi
pack $f.b




The following example code is incorrect because it tries to
    create immediate children of the LabelFrame .f:






tixLabelFrame .f
# wrong!
button .f.b -text hi
pack .f.b








WIDGET COMMANDS


The tixLabelFrame command creates a new Tcl command whose
    name is the same as the path name of the LabelFrame'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 LabelFrame
  widget's path name. Option and the args determine the exact
  behavior of the command. The following commands are possible for LabelFrame
  widgets:


  

  
Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
      option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the
      tixLabelFrame command.

  

  
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 tixLabelFrame command.

  

  
When no options are given, this command returns the pathname of the
      subwidget of the specified name.




When options are given, the widget command of the specified
    subwidget will be called with these options.
