XmFrame - The Frame widget class
#include <Xm/Frame.h>
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 desires 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, XmNshadowType defaults to XmSHADOW_OUT, and Manager's resource XmNshadowThickness defaults to 1.
If the Frame's parent is not a Shell widget, XmNshadowType defaults to XmSHADOW_ETCHED_IN, and Manager's resource XmNshadowThickness 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).

The Frame geometry manager ignores any child of type XmFRAME_GENERIC_CHILD.
See the description of XmNalignment in the XmLabel man page for an explanation of these values.
Frame inherits behavior and resources from the following superclasses. For a complete description of each resource, refer to the man page for that superclass.
