       This code is derived from LabFrame.tcl and LabWidg.tcl in the Tix4.0 distribution by Ioi  Lam.  The  code
       may be redistributed under the same terms as Perl.

       Perhaps LabFrame should be subsumed within the generic pTk labeled widget mechanism.

LabFrame is exactly like Frame and additionally allows one to add a label to the frame.

       Run the following test program to see this in action:

           use strict;
           use Tk;
           require Tk::LabFrame;
           require Tk::LabEntry;

           my $test = 'Test this';
           my $mw = Tk::MainWindow->new;
           my $f = $mw->LabFrame(-label => "This is a label",
                                  -labelside => "acrosstop");
           $f->LabEntry(-label => "Testing", -textvariable => \$test)->pack;
           $f->pack;
           Tk::MainLoop;

       Tk::LabFrame - labeled frame.

useTk::LabFrame;$f = $parent->LabFrame(?-label=>text, -labelside=>where, ...?);

LabFrame supports the same options as the Frame widget.

       Additional options of LabFrame are:

       -font => font
           Specifies the label's font

       -foreground => color
           Specifies the label's foreground color

       -label => text
           The text of the label to be placed with the Frame.

       -labelside => whereWhere  can be one of left, right, top, bottom or acrosstop.  The first four work as might be expected
           and place the label to the left, right, above or below the frame respectively. The acrosstop  creates
           a  grooved  frame  around the central frame and puts the label near the northwest corner such that it
           appears to "overwrite" the groove.

       -labelvariable => scalar_ref
           Specifies a reference to a variable and used as an  alternative  to  -label.  If  the  value  of  the
           variable  changes,  then  the  widget  will be updated automatically to reflect the change. Used like
           -textvariable.
