LabFrame(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation LabFrame(3)
NAME
Tk::LabFrame - labeled frame.
SYNOPSIS
use Tk::LabFrame;
$f = $parent->LabFrame(?-label=>text, -labelside=>where, ...?);
DESCRIPTION
LabFrame is exactly like Frame and additionaly allows to add a label to
the frame.
WIDGET-OPTIONS
LabFrame supports the same options as the Frame widget.
Additional options of LabFrame are:
-font => font
Specifies the label's font
-foreground => color
Specifies the label's foreground color
-label => text
The text of the label to be placed with the Frame.
-labelside => where
Where can be one of left, right, top, bottom or acrosstop. The
first four work as might be expected and place the label to the
left, right, above or below the frame respectively. The acrosstop
creates a grooved frame around the central frame and puts the label
near the northwest corner such that it appears to "overwrite" the
groove.
-labelvariable => scalar_ref
Specifies a reference to a variable and used as an alternative to
-label. If the value of the variable changes, then the widget will
be updated automatically to reflect the change. Used like
-textvariable.
ADVERTISED SUBWIDGETS
See "Subwidget" in Tk::mega how to use advertised widgets.
border
Frame used to display the border
frame
Frame used to create new LabFrame children.
label
Label used for displaying text
EXAMPLE
Run the following test program to see this in action:
use strict;
use Tk;
require Tk::LabFrame;
require Tk::LabEntry;
my $test = 'Test this';
my $mw = Tk::MainWindow->new;
my $f = $mw->LabFrame(-label => "This is a label",
-labelside => "acrosstop");
$f->LabEntry(-label => "Testing", -textvariable => \$test)->pack;
$f->pack;
Tk::MainLoop;
BUGS
Perhaps LabFrame should be subsumed within the generic pTk labeled
widget mechanism.
