Description

Most widgets support selection of different styles through setting their box property; some also have a down_box property used when the widget is pressed. Boxtype and Frametype are a table naming the different box and frame styles.

Boxtype.none means nothing is drawn at all, so whatever is already on the screen remains. The FL_..._FRAME types only draw their edges, leaving the interior unchanged. In the above diagram the blue color is the area that is not drawn by the box.

• Boxtype.none
