SUPER-CLASS

       options.

DESCRIPTION

       The  tixLabelFrame command creates a new window (given by the pathName argument) and makes it into a LabelFrame widget. Additional options,
       described above, may be specified on the command line or in the option database to configure aspects of the LabelFrame such as  its  cursor
       and relief.

CREATING WIDGETS INSIDE A LABELFRAME

       The LabelFrame widget packages a frame widget and a label into one mega widget. To create widgets inside a LabelFrame widget, one must cre-
       ate the new widgets relative to the frame subwidget and manage them inside the frame subwidget. An error will be generated if one tries	to
       create  widgets	as  immediate children of the LabelFrame. For example: the following is correct code, which creates new widgets inside the
       frame subwidget:

	      tixLabelFrame .f
	      set f [.f subwidget frame]
	      button $f.b -text hi
	      pack $f.b

       The following example code is incorrect because it tries to create immediate children of the LabelFrame .f:

	      tixLabelFrame .f
	      # wrong!
	      button .f.b -text hi
	      pack .f.b

WIDGET COMMANDS

       The tixLabelFrame command creates a new Tcl command whose name is the same as the path name of the LabelFrame's window. This command may be
       used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the following general form:
		     pathName option ?arg arg ...?
       PathName is the name of the command, which is the same as the LabelFrame widget's path name. Option and the args determine the exact behav-
       ior of the command. The following commands are possible for LabelFrame widgets:

       pathName cget option
	      Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option. Option may have any of the values accepted by  the  tixLabel-
	      Frame command.

       pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?
	      Query  or modify the configuration options of the widget.  If no option is specified, returns a list describing all of the available
	      options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on the format of this list).  If option is specified with no value,  then
	      the  command  returns  a list describing the one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist of the value
	      returned if no option is specified).  If one or more option-value pairs are specified, then the command modifies	the  given  widget
	      option(s)  to have the given value(s); in this case the command returns an empty string.	Option may have any of the values accepted
	      by the tixLabelFrame command.

       pathName subwidget name ?args?
	      When no options are given, this command returns the pathname of the subwidget of the specified name.

       When options are given, the widget command of the specified subwidget will be called with these options.
