wxFrame

wxFrame is a class derived from wxWindow. You must use a wxFrame as your top level window. The parameters for creating a wxFrame are:

atom parent
atom id
sequence title
integer x [ = -1]
integer y [ = -1]
integer cx [ = -1]
integer cy [ = -1]
atom style [ = wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE]
- wxSTAY_ON_TOP
- wxICONIZE
- wxMINIMIZE
- wxMAXIMIZE
- wxSYSTEM_MENU
- wxMINIMIZE_BOX
- wxMAXIMIZE_BOX
- wxTINY_CAPTION_HORIZ
- wxTINY_CAPTION_VERT
- wxRESIZE_BORDER
- wxDIALOG_NO_PARENT Don't make owned by apps top window
- wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR No taskbar button (MSW only)
- wxFRAME_TOOL_WINDOW No taskbar button, no system menu
- wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT Always above its parent
- wxFRAME_SHAPED Create a window that is able to be shaped

All items with a default value are optional, although you must supply both x and y, or both cx and cy if you supply either one.

ex:
  constant myFrame = create( wxFrame, {0,         -- has no parent
                                      -1,         -- wxWidgets will create an id
                                      "myFrame",  -- will be dispayed as the caption
                                      -1,         -- start at default x position
                                      -1,         -- start at default y position
                                      300,        -- 300 wide
                                      200})       -- 200 tall
                                                  -- no style supplied means will be default style

If there is only one child of a frame, that child will be automatically resized (by wxWidgets) to the client rect of the frame.
