7 extframe.image -- extended frame BBOPSI image (V1)
10 The extframe class is a complete replacement of the built in
11 frameiclass provided by Intuition. It can render itself using the
12 pens specified by the application, or can use the standard DrawInfo
13 pens (like the original frameiclass) when the needed pens have not
14 been supplied. It offers some new frame type, like the well known
15 XEN frame. It offers an improved configurability (quite every aspect
16 of the frame can be configured), an extended IM_FRAMEBOX method and
17 some OS3 specific optimizations.
18 It is made to be as fast as possible and offer the possibility to
19 programmers to add new frame types with little or no changes at all
20 at the GM_RENDER method.
21 This class is a subclass of the imageclass, and support all the
22 attributes of the frameiclass class (at least it should), so you
23 must read their doc to learn the supported tags and their meaning.
24 Here I will list only the class specific tags or methods.
27 IM_FRAMEBOX -- Ask the frame information on its size according to
28 its content. It is identical to the frameiclass method, but
29 offers a new flag beside the standard FRAMEF_SPECIFY. If you
30 specify the new FRAMEF_QUERY flag, you supply the FrameBox
31 (instead of the ContentsBox) and the frame will fill the
32 ContentsBox with the appropriate size/position value taking
33 into consideration the frame thickness, the space between the
34 frame and its contents, etc.
38 IA_FrameDistance -- Space between the frame and the gadget in pixel.
39 Negative values are allowed.
41 Applicability is (ISG)
43 IA_InnerDistance -- Space between the two 'side' of a frame. For
44 example a inner distance of 0 pixel will make a FRAME_ICONDROPBOX
45 frame look like a FRAME_RIDGE frame. Currently this tag has
46 effect only on the FRAME_ICONDROPBOX frame.
48 Applicability is (ISG)
50 IA_PenBackground -- Specify the background pen. Used only if
51 you did not specify the IA_EdgesOnly attribute. If this
52 tag is not specified or is set to -1 the standard BACKGROUNDPEN
55 Applicability is (ISG)
57 IA_PenSelBackground -- Specify the pen used to fill the frame
58 when it's in the selected state. Ignored if the frame is a
59 IA_EdgesOnly one. If it is not specified or is set to -1
60 the FILLPEN pen will be used.
62 Applicability is (ISG)
64 IA_PenShine -- Specify the pen number used for the shine pen (i.e.
65 for raised borders). If it is not specified or set to -1 the
66 standard SHINEPEN will be used.
68 Applicability is (ISG)
70 IA_PenShadow -- Specify the pen number used for the shadow pen.
71 (i.e. for recessed borders). If it is not specified or set to -1
72 the standard SHADOWPEN will be used.
74 Applicability is (ISG)
76 IA_PenHalfShine -- Specify the halfshine pen. If it is not specified
77 or set to -1 the standard SHINEPEN will be used. It's usually a
78 bit darker than the shine pen and is commonly used in the xen
81 Applicability is (ISG)
83 IA_PenHalfShadow -- Specify the halfshadow pen. If it is not
84 specified or set to -1 the standard SHADOWPEN will be used. It's
85 usually a bit brighter than the shadow pen and is commonly used
88 Applicability is (ISG)
91 The tags supported by the frameiclass are not very well documented,
92 so this class may not support all the needed tags.
