## 18.17 The Frame Widget

Create a frame for enclosing other widgets using the `Frame` method. For example:

>     $parent->Frame( options )

The standard configuration options that apply to `Frame` are: `-background`, `-bg`, `-borderwidth`, `-bw`, `-cursor`, `-height`, `-highlightbackground`, `-highlightcolor`, `-highlightthickness`, `-relief`, `-takefocus`, and `-width`.

Other options are:

`-class =>` `name`

  The class associated with the frame.

`-colormap =>` `\$window`

  Specifies another window to share the colormap with. You can point to another window or use the value "new" to specify a new colormap. Default is `undef`.

`-label =>` `string`

  The string to use as a label for the frame.

"`-labelPack`

  Specifies options for the `pack` command.

`-labelVariable =>` `\$variable`

  Specifies a variable containing the text for the label.

`-visual =>` `type n`

  For the X Window System, changes the depth of colors.
