| An abstract representation of a report elements container.
A frame is a report element that contains sub elements.
It has a backgroud, a border and it stretches to accommodate its content.
For the Graphics2D and PDF exporters, a frame is equivalent to a rectangle
placed behind a group of elements. The HTML exporter creates sub-tables for frames
and the XLS exporter includes the frame sub elements into the grid.
For elements inside a frame, the coordinates, positionType and stretchType
properties are relative to the frame instead of the band.
