So the frame would carry its title itself. Makes sense.
Well, that means we could do it in the base class - and provide
the related coordinates conversion so that the frame itself doesn't have
to care about the title.
Actually that sub-part of the frame would have to be a textframeset on its
own (that's the only way to store text).

I don't think this is limited to pictures. Part frames, Text frames, etc. could
all have a title, no ?

And to activate that title frame.... well the RMB on the frame or the Frames menu
would be a good way. I asume we also need "title on top" and "title at bottom"
(I remember this from my discussion with Shaheed about it).

Well, that all sounds good. One day :)

Yup. When do you learn C++ ? ;-)
