Frame

  A Frame is just like a frame in Tk. It is used to group things together side by side, instead of the default, on top of each other. Ie. if you have two ListBox's which you want side by side, then you can use Frame

Standard Options

-entries
This is the element which shall be located in the frame
-orient
This is the orientation which things are pack in the frame. NOTE: This is different from Tk. Ie. if you say -orient left, things are pack side by side in the frame, and -orient top means: pack things on top of each other in the frame.(default: left)
-default
This is the default values to the elements in the frame.
-export
This tells wether the widget shall be exported ort not. If set to ``0'' all the subelement of the frame is not exported.

Link to Variables

The frame, doesn't link to any variables itself, and the element in the frame, link to variables, as if they were not in a frame. But default values have to go through the frame:
Ex.:
CheckBox cb1 -text "checkbox 1"
Entry e1 -text "Entry 1"
Frame f1 -entries cb1 e1 -default {1 "This is for the entry"}
