$labelframe = $parent->Labelframe(?options?);
-borderwidth -highlightbackground -pady
-cursor -highlightcolor -relief
-font -highlightthickness -takefocus
-foreground -padx -text
- 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.
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.
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 the Tk::configure manpage 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.
