Patterns

The frame widget can be used as a place holder for video overlays and other external processes.

To use a frame widget in this fashion, set the background color to an empty string (this prevents updates, and leaves the color map alone), pack it as usual, and use the window_id method to get the window handle corresponding to the frame.

    frame = Frame(width=768, height=576, bg="", colormap="new")
    frame.pack()
    video.attach_window(frame.window_id())
