See the
options manual entry for details on the standard options.
Command-Line Name: -background
Database Name: background
Database Class: Background
- 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 colors
will be consumed from its colormap for its background and border.
Command-Line Name: -class
Database Name: class
Database 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 widget
command.
Command-Line Name: -colormap
Database Name: colormap
Database Class: 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 pathName), 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.
Command-Line Name: -height
Database Name: height
Database Class: Height
- Specifies the desired height for the window in any of the
forms acceptable to Tk_GetPixels. If this option is less than or
equal to zero then the window will not request any size at all.
Command-Line Name: -labelanchor
Database Name: labelAnchor
Database Class: LabelAnchor
- Specifies where to place the label. A label is only
displayed if the -text option is not the empty string. Valid values
for this option are (listing them clockwise) nw, n,
ne, en, e, es, se, s,sw,
ws, w and wn. The default value is nw.
Command-Line Name: -labelwidget
Database Name: labelWidget
Database Class: LabelWidget
- Specifies a widget to use as label. This overrides any
-text option. The widget must exist before being used as
-labelwidget and if it is not a descendant of this window, it will
be raised above it in the stacking order.
Command-Line Name: -visual
Database Name: visual
Database Class: 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.
Command-Line Name: -width
Database Name: width
Database Class: Width
- Specifies the desired width for the window in any of the
forms acceptable to Tk_GetPixels. If this option is less than or
equal to zero then the window will not request any size at all.
The
labelframe 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 background color and relief.
The
labelframe command returns the path name of the new window.
A labelframe is a simple widget. Its primary purpose is to act as a spacer or
container for complex window layouts. It has the features of a
frame
plus the ability to display a label.
The
labelframe 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 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
labelframe 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
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 labelframe command.
When a new labelframe is created, it has no default event bindings: labelframes
are not intended to be interactive.
This shows how to build part of a GUI for a hamburger vendor. The
labelframe widgets are used to organize the available choices by the
kinds of things that the choices are being made over.
