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