06 General attributes of frames

Every frame type has a list of attributes which defines its individual character. The following list shows a few attributes which may be uses by multiple frame types.

  • Margins (left, top, right and bottom).
  • Flags if the frame may use the full width or height of the surrounding frame.
  • Alignment (horizontal and vertical).
  • Maximal sizes
  • Flag if a frame should keep all content on one page.
  • Background color
  • Lines around a box
  • Directions (horizontal or vertical)

All these attributes I will describe in detail later in this document when discussing the different frame types..
