Description

The background and foreground colors are colors specified using the graphics ports color system, and the font must be a generic font. The value forvisible-border can be any of the following:

nil: Has no border.
t: Has a border.
:default: Use the default for the window type.

Any simple pane can be made to scroll by specifyingt to:horizontal-scroll or:vertical-scroll. By default these values arenil, but some subclasses ofsimple-pane default tot where appropriate (for instance editors always default to having a vertical scroll-bar).

In order to display a simple pane, it needs to be contained within an interface. The two convenience functionsmake-container andcontain are provided to create an interface with enough support for that pane. The functionmake-container just returns a container for an element, and the functioncontain displays an interface created for the pane usingmake-container.
