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.

SUBWIDGETS

       Name:          frame
       Class:         Frame

              The frame subwidget.

       Name:          label
       Class:         Label

              The label 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:

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

       pathName subwidget name ?args?
              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.
