# Frame

The Frame container is capable of containing one widget and it places a rectangle box around it. You can also have a label attached to the box. The box can have different appearances which is described by type ShadowType. The possible vales for ShadowType are as follows:

Table 1. ShadowType

NONE
IN
OUT
ETCHED_IN
ETCHED_OUT

Here is a little bit of the createLabels() method from TestGTK to demonstrate the usage of Frame.

Example 2. TestGTK.java - Frame

    	public void createLabels() {
    		Window win = new Window(WindowType.TOPLEVEL);
    		win.setTitle("labels");
    		win.setBorderWidth(5);

    		VBox vbox1 = new VBox(false, 5);
    		HBox hbox = new HBox(false, 5);
    		win.add(hbox);
    		hbox.packStart(vbox1, false, false, 0);

    		Frame frame = new Frame("Normal Label");
    		Label label = new Label("This is a Normal Label");
    		frame.add(label);
    		vbox1.packStart(frame, false, false, 0);

    		frame = new Frame("Multi-Line Label");
    		label = new Label("This is a Multi-Line Label. \nSecond line\nThird line");
    		frame.add(label);
    		vbox1.packStart(frame, false, false, 0);

    		frame = new Frame("Left Justiied Label");
    		label = new Label("This is a Left-Justified\nMulti-line label.\nThird line");
    		label.setJustification(Justification.LEFT);
    		frame.add(label);
    		vbox1.packStart(frame, false, false, 0);
