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:
- -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.
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 =>
- est)->pack;
$f->pack;
Tk::MainLoop;
BUGS
Perhaps LabFrame should be subsumed within the generic pTk
labeled widget mechanism.
