Description

The Frame class is a special type of Window that will appear like other high-level programs in your windowing environment. It adds a MenuBar, window title, and window gadgets (like resize, maximize, minimize, window menu) to the basic Window object. Frames are initially invisible; call show() to display them. Frames may also be associated with an Image to be used as an icon. The Frame class includes many constants to represent different cursor styles. All styles aren't necessarily available on any platform. In 1.1, these constants are defined in java.awt.Cursor.
