NAME [Toc] [Back]
XmFrame - The Frame widget class
SYNOPSIS [Toc] [Back]
#include <Xm/Frame.h>
DESCRIPTION [Toc] [Back]
Frame is a very simple manager used to enclose a single work area
child in a border drawn by Frame. It uses the Manager class resources
for border drawing and performs geometry management so that its size
always matches its child's outer size plus the Frame's margins and
shadow thickness.
Frame is most often used to enclose other managers when the
application developer wants the manager to have the same border
appearance as the primitive widgets. Frame can also be used to enclose
primitive widgets that do not support the same type of border drawing.
This gives visual consistency when you develop applications using
diverse widget sets. Constraint resources are used to designate a
child as the Frame title, align its text, and control its vertical
alignment in relation to Frame's top shadow. The title appears only at
the top of the Frame.
If the Frame's parent is a Shell widget, the XmNshadowType resource
defaults to XmSHADOW_OUT, and the Manager's XmNshadowThickness
resource defaults to 1.
If the Frame's parent is not a Shell widget, the XmNshadowType resouce
defaults to XmSHADOW_ETCHED_IN, and the Manager's XmNshadowThickness
resource defaults to 2.
Classes [Toc] [Back]
Frame inherits behavior and resources from the Core, Composite,
Constraint, and XmManager classes.
The class pointer is xmFrameWidgetClass.
The class name is XmFrame.
New Resources [Toc] [Back]
The following table defines a set of widget resources used by the
programmer to specify data. The programmer can also set the resource
values for the inherited classes to set attributes for this widget. To
reference a resource by name or by class in a .Xdefaults file, remove
the XmN or XmC prefix and use the remaining letters. To specify one of
the defined values for a resource in a .Xdefaults file, remove the Xm
prefix and use the remaining letters (in either lowercase or
uppercase, but include any underscores between words). The codes in
the access column indicate if the given resource can be set at
creation time (C), set by using XtSetValues (S), retrieved by using
XtGetValues (G), or is not applicable (N/A).

XmNmarginWidth [Toc] [Back]
Specifies the padding space on the left and right sides
between Frame's child and Frame's shadow drawing.
XmNmarginHeight [Toc] [Back]
Specifies the padding space on the top and bottom sides
between Frame's child and Frame's shadow drawing. When a
title is present, the top margin equals the value specified
by this resource plus the distance (if any) that the title
extends below the top shadow.
XmNshadowType [Toc] [Back]
Describes the drawing style for Frame. This resource can
have the following values:
XmSHADOW_IN [Toc] [Back]
Draws Frame so that it appears inset. This means
that the bottom shadow visuals and top shadow
visuals are reversed.
XmSHADOW_OUT [Toc] [Back]
Draws Frame so that it appears outset. This is
the default if Frame's parent is a Shell widget.
XmSHADOW_ETCHED_IN [Toc] [Back]
Draws Frame using a double line giving the effect
of a line etched into the window. The thickness of
the double line is equal to the value of
XmNshadowThickness. This is the default when
Frame's parent is not a Shell widget.
XmSHADOW_ETCHED_OUT [Toc] [Back]
Draws Frame using a double line giving the effect
of a line coming out of the window. The thickness
of the double line is equal to the value of
XmNshadowThickness.

XmNchildType [Toc] [Back]
Refer to the XmNframeChildType resource description. The
XmNchildType resource is obsoleted by XmNframeChildType, but
is kept here for backward compatibility.
XmNchildHorizontalAlignment [Toc] [Back]
Specifies the alignment of the title. This resource has the
following values:
+ XmALIGNMENT_BEGINNING
+ XmALIGNMENT_CENTER
+ XmALIGNMENT_END
See the description of XmNalignment in the XmLabel reference
page for an explanation of these values.
XmNchildHorizontalSpacing [Toc] [Back]
Specifies the minimum distance between either edge of the
title text and the inner edge of the Frame shadow. Clipping
of the title text occurs in order to maintain this spacing.
The default value is the margin width of the Frame.
XmNchildVerticalAlignment [Toc] [Back]
Specifies the vertical alignment of the title text, or the
title area in relation to the top shadow of the Frame.
XmALIGNMENT_BASELINE_BOTTOM [Toc] [Back]
Causes the baseline of the title to align
vertically with the top shadow of the Frame. In
the case of a multi-line title, the baseline of
the last line of text aligns vertically with the
top shadow of the Frame.

XmALIGNMENT_BASELINE_TOP [Toc] [Back]
Causes the baseline of the first line of the title
to align vertically with the top shadow of the
Frame.
XmALIGNMENT_CHILD_TOP [Toc] [Back]
Causes the top edge of the title area to align
vertically with the top shadow of the Frame.
XmALIGNMENT_CENTER [Toc] [Back]
Causes the center of the title area to align
vertically with the top shadow of the Frame.
XmALIGNMENT_CHILD_BOTTOM [Toc] [Back]
Causes the bottom edge of the title area to align
vertically with the top shadow of the Frame.
XmNframeChildType [Toc] [Back]
Specifies whether a child is a title or work area. Frame
supports a single title and/or work area child. The possible
values are
+ XmFRAME_TITLE_CHILD
+ XmFRAME_WORKAREA_CHILD
+ XmFRAME_GENERIC_CHILD
The Frame geometry manager ignores any child of type
XmFRAME_GENERIC_CHILD. This resource replaces XmNchildType.
Inherited Resources [Toc] [Back]
Frame inherits behavior and resources from the following superclasses.
For a complete description of each resource, refer to the reference
page for that superclass.
