NAME

       Tk::Labelframe - Create and manipulate Labelframe widgets

SYNOPSIS

       $labelframe = $parent->Labelframe(?options?);

        -borderwidth -highlightbackground -pady
        -cursor      -highlightcolor      -relief
        -font        -highlightthickness  -takefocus
        -foreground  -padx                -text

WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS

       Option:   -background
       Name:     background
       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.

       Option:   -class
       Name:     class
       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
           method.

       Option:   -colormap
       Name:     colormap
       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 $widget), 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 method.

       Option:   -container
       Name:     container
       Class:    Container
           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 -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 method.

       Option:   -height
       Name:     height
       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.

       Option:   -labelanchor
       Name:     labelAnchor
       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.

       Option:   -labelwidget
       Name:     labelWidget
       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.

       Option:   -visual
       Name:     visual
       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
           method.

       Option:   -width
       Name:     width
       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.

DESCRIPTION

       The Labelframe method creates a new window (given by the $labelframe 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.

       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.

WIDGET METHODS

       The Labelframe method may be used to invoke various operations on the widget.  It has the
       following general form:

        $widget->method(?arg arg ...?);

       The following methods are possible for Labelframe widgets:

       $widget->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.

       $widget->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 $widget (see Tk::configure
           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.

BINDINGS

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