Frame widget

The Frame widget is a simple constraint widget and is most often used to draw a border round other widgets. Its use is mainly for visual effect.

In Motif 1.1, a Frame could have only one child (which could be a manager or constraint widget containing many children). In Motif 1.2, you can have a second child of a frame but one of the children is used as a Title widget and is embedded into the frame boundary.

For more information on the Frame widget, consult XmFrame(3X) in the OSF/Motif Programmer's Reference.

HINTS

If you want to frame a group of widgets, place them in a form or rowcolumn and make this a child of the frame widget.
