Direct Known Subclasses:

AspectFrame

public class Frame
extends Bin

A decorative border frame with an optional label. This is typically used to surround a group of widgets with a a visual hint grouping them together.

These are frequently over-used and so using Frames is actually highly discouraged: in general Widgets already have sufficient decoration and adding extra horizontal and vertical lines distracts the user and actually makes it harder to distinguish the Widgets from one another. If you need to group widgets, do so with white space or use a technique like applying SizeGroups to give a set of Widgets a consistent appearance.

Note that the "label" can be a full Widget in its own right; if you use the methods which take a text string they will transparently create a Label for you containing that text and using it on the edge of the Frame.

setLabel

public void setLabel(String label)

                          float yalign)

Sets the alignment of the Frame's label.

Parameters:

xalign - The position of the label along the top edge of the widget. A value of 0.0f represents left alignment; 1.0f represents right alignment. The default value is 0.0f

yalign - The vertical alignment of the label. A value of 0.0f aligns under the frame; 1.0f aligns above the frame. The default value is 0.5f.
