05 Container frame types

A container frame is a special kind of frame which can hold a list of other frames. The library processes the elements of a container frame as a unit to calculate the size and position of the container frame. A container can be organized horizontally or vertically.

• SerialFrame: A container frame to hold a list of other frames. They can be organized horizontally or vertically.
• BoxFrame: A rectangular region on the report which can hold one other frame. It can have a border, a background color and paddings to format its content
• PageFrame: A container frame that the library prints on every page or only on certain pages.
• FixposFrame: A frame that the library prints on an exact position on the paper. It can overlay other frames.

I will describe all frame types in detail later in this document.
