Summary
Determines the 'size' of the new frame being created as part of an inline frame creation command sequence within the <?frame> command.
Example extract

This sample when placed inline and formatted will create a frame of 80 x 30mm positioned at 50mm down 70mm accross with the frame name "Simple_1".

 <?frame clear> 1
 <?frame size 80mm, 30mm> 2
 <?frame position 50mm, 70mm> 3
 <?frame raw name "Simple_1"> 4
 <?frame add-to-page> 5
4
Always clear any preexisting frame properties that may be in memory, otherwise they could get applied to the frame that you are creating.
6
The size of your frame.
8
The position of your frame.
10
Give the frame a name. This is because frames are always referred to by name if they require modification (the frame number is never used). This is also useful because of the way auto frames are handled internally - the name is required to uniquely identify a frame. This is particularly important for the autocopy feature, and for killing frames.
12
Always add to page (this actually adds the frame to the page).

Syntax (7.67a)
width_statement:L

Either an absolute width position measurement or an applicable anchor control keyword sequence.

value, unit  Numerical value followed by a unit of measurement.
Anchor control keywords that can be used by size include:

margin

column

unchanged

stepa

stepb

vcentre

centre

height_statement:L

Either an absolute height position measurement or an applicable frame anchor control keyword sequence.

value, unit  Numerical value followed by a unit of measurement.

Anchor control keywords that can be used are the same as for the horizontal parameter above.

The hcentre and vcentre keywords must be used when height position keywords are used in the width statement andvice versa e.g to use half the height as the width and half the width as the height e.g :

 <?frame size margin top to margin vcentre, margin hcentre 1
 to margin right> 2
