XmFrame — The Frame widget class
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.
Frame inherits behavior and resources from the Core,
Composite, Constraint, and XmManager classes.
The class pointer is xmFrameWidgetClass.
The class name is XmFrame.
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
- Specifies the padding space on the left and right sides between Frame's
child and Frame's shadow drawing.
- XmNmarginHeight
- 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
- Describes the drawing style for Frame. This resource can have the
following values:
- XmSHADOW_IN
- Draws Frame so that it appears inset. This means that the bottom shadow
visuals and top shadow visuals are reversed.
- XmSHADOW_OUT
- Draws Frame so that it appears outset. This is the default if Frame's
parent is a Shell widget.
- XmSHADOW_ETCHED_IN
- 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
- 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
- Refer to the XmNframeChildType resource description. The
XmNchildType resource is obsoleted by XmNframeChildType, but
is kept here for backward compatibility.
- XmNchildHorizontalAlignment
- 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
- 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
- Specifies the vertical alignment of the title text, or the title area in
relation to the top shadow of the Frame.
- XmALIGNMENT_BASELINE_BOTTOM
- 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
- Causes the baseline of the first line of the title to align vertically
with the top shadow of the Frame.
- XmALIGNMENT_CHILD_TOP
- Causes the top edge of the title area to align vertically with the top
shadow of the Frame.
- XmALIGNMENT_CENTER
- Causes the center of the title area to align vertically with the top
shadow of the Frame.
- XmALIGNMENT_CHILD_BOTTOM
- Causes the bottom edge of the title area to align vertically with the top
shadow of the Frame.
- XmNframeChildType
- 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.
Frame inherits behavior and resources from the following
superclasses. For a complete description of each resource, refer to the
reference page for that superclass.
