A Frame is an Object in Incari that acts as a 'container' to its children and has rigid boundaries which exist within a Scene2D. It is one of the two Objects in Scene2Ds which can be parents.
When a Frame is created, it is not expressed as an explicitly visual component to be displayed in the Scene2D. It must first be populated with other Objects. The dimensions of the Frame are provided in its Attributes.
Without any Objects as children, a Frame doesn't look like much:
An Ellipse and Rectangle are now added as children, but it's still difficult to tell the boundaries of the Frame visually. Notice the Postion and Size describe these boundaries numerically. The top-left corner starts at 0,0 and it extends 1000 units in both the X and Y-axes. Objects, however, still appear in full outside the boundaries of the Frame.
The Layout of the Frame can be adjusted to display its children horizontally or vertically. Please note that changing the Layout causes Objects to be placed at their default positions in the Frame. Here the gap between the Ellipse and Rectangle disappears when it is first changed to vertical.
