1mWIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS0m
       Command-Line Name:1m-background0m
       Database Name:  1mbackground0m
       Database Class: 1mBackground0m

              This option is the same as the standard 1mbackground 22moption 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:1m-class0m
       Database Name:  1mclass0m
       Database Class: 1mClass0m

              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 1mclass 22moption may not be changed with  the  1mconfigure  22mwidget
              command.

       Command-Line Name:1m-colormap0m
       Database Name:  1mcolormap0m
       Database Class: 1mColormap0m

              Specifies  a  colormap  to use for the window.  The value may be
              either 1mnew22m, in which case a new colormap is created for the win-
              dow  and its children, or the name of another window (which must
              be on the same screen and have the same visual as 4mpathName24m),  in
              which  case the new window will use the colormap from the speci-
              fied window.  If the 1mcolormap 22moption is not specified,  the  new
              window  uses  the  same colormap as its parent.  This option may
              not be changed with the 1mconfigure 22mwidget command.

       Command-Line Name:1m-container0m
       Database Name:  1mcontainer0m
       Database Class: 1mContainer0m

              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  1m-use 22moption).  The window will support the appropriate win-
              dow manager protocols for things like  geometry  requests.   The
              window  should not have any children of its own in this applica-
              tion.  This option may not be changed with the 1mconfigure  22mwidget
              command.

       Command-Line Name:1m-height0m
       Database Name:  1mheight0m
       Database Class: 1mHeight0m

              Specifies  the desired height for the window in any of the forms
              acceptable to 1mTk_GetPixels22m.  If this  option  is  less  than  or
              equal  to zero then the window will not request any size at all.

       Command-Line Name:1m-visual0m
       Database Name:  1mvisual0m
       Database Class: 1mVisual0m

              Specifies visual information for the new window in  any  of  the
              forms  accepted  by  1mTk_GetVisual22m.  If this option is not speci-
              fied, the new window will use the same  visual  as  its  parent.
              The  1mvisual 22moption may not be modified with the 1mconfigure 22mwidget
              command.

       Command-Line Name:1m-width0m
       Database Name:  1mwidth0m
       Database Class: 1mWidth0m

              Specifies the desired width for the window in any of  the  forms
              acceptable  to  1mTk_GetPixels22m.   If  this  option is less than or
              equal to zero then the window will not request any size at  all.


1mDESCRIPTION0m
       The 1mframe 22mcommand creates a new window (given by the 4mpathName24m 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 1mframe 22mcommand 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.


1mWIDGET COMMAND0m
       The 1mframe 22mcommand 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:
              4mpathName24m 4moption24m ?4marg24m 4marg24m 4m...24m?
       4mPathName24m  is  the  name  of the command, which is the same as the frame
       widget's path name.  4mOption24m and the 4marg24ms determine the  exact  behavior
       of the command.  The following commands are possible for frame widgets:

       4mpathName24m 1mcget 4m22moption0m
              Returns the current value of the configuration option  given  by
              4moption24m.  4mOption24m may have any of the values accepted by the 1mframe0m
              command.

       4mpathName24m 1mconfigure 22m?4moption24m? 4m?value24m 4moption24m 4mvalue24m 4m...24m?
              Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.  If  no
              4moption24m is specified, returns a list describing all of the avail-
              able options for 4mpathName24m (see 1mTk_ConfigureInfo 22mfor  information
              on  the  format  of  this list).  If 4moption24m is specified with no
              4mvalue24m, 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 4moption24m is  specified).   If  one  or
              more 4moption-value24m 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.  4mOption24m may have any
              of the values accepted by the 1mframe 22mcommand.


1mBINDINGS0m
       When a new frame is created, it has no default event  bindings:  frames
       are not intended to be interactive.
