31: * An abstract representation of a report elements container.
32: * <p>
33: * A frame is a report element that contains sub elements.
34: * It has a backgroud, a border and it stretches to accommodate its content.
35: * <p>
36: * For the Graphics2D and PDF exporters, a frame is equivalent to a rectangle
37: * placed behind a group of elements. The HTML exporter creates sub-tables for frames
38: * and the XLS exporter includes the frame sub elements into the grid.
39: * <p>
40: * For elements inside a frame, the coordinates, positionType and stretchType
41: * properties are relative to the frame instead of the band.
