CHAPTER 28. APPLICATION FRAMES

:pane

:panes form, where form is an alist that specifies names and panes of the application. The
default is nil, meaning that there are no named panes. The :panes and :pane options
are mutually exclusive. See Section 28.2.1 for a complete description of the :panes option.
:layouts form, where form specifies the layout. The default layout is to lay out all of the
named panes in horizontal strips. The :layouts and :pane options are mutually exclusive.
See Section 28.2.1 for a complete description of the :layouts option.
:command-table name-and-options, where name-and-options is a list consisting of the
name of the application frame's command table followed by some keyword-value pairs.
The keywords can be :inherit-from or :menu (which are as in define-command-table).
The default is to create a command table with the same name as the application frame.
:menu-bar form is used to specify what commands will appear in a "menu bar". It typically
specifies the top-level commands of the application. form is either nil, meaning there is
no menu bar; t, meaning that the menu from frame's command table (from the :command- tableoption) should be used; a symbol that names a command table, meaning that that
command table's menu should be used; or a list, which is interpreted the same way the
:menu option to define-command-table is interpreted. The default is t.
:disabled-commands commands, where commands is a list of command names that are
initially disabled in the application frame.
:command-definer value, where value either nil, t, or another symbol. When it is nil, no
command-defining macro is defined. When it is t, a command-defining macro is defined,
whose name is of the form define-name-command. When it is another symbol, the symbol
names the command-defining macro. The default is t.
:top-level form, where form is a list whose first element is the name of a function to be
called to execute the top-level loop. The function must take at least one argument, the
frame. The rest of the list consists of additional arguments to be passed to the function.
The default function is default-frame-top-level.

The name, superclasses, and slots arguments are not evaluated. The values of each of the options
are evaluated.

=> make-application-frame frame-name &rest options &key pretty-name frame-manager enable
state left top right bottom width height save-under frame-class &allow-other-keys [Function]
Makes an instance of the application frame of type frame-class. If frame-class is not supplied, it
defaults to frame-name.

The size options left, top, right, bottom, width, and height can be used to specify the size of the
frame.

options are passed as additional arguments to make-instance, after the pretty-name, frame-
manager, enable, state, save-under, frame-class, and size options have been removed.
