        """`Frame` object within a `Page`, holding onto a `Dataset` and a `Plot`.

        Parameters:
            uid (`integer <int>`, optional): This must be a *valid* unique ID
                number pointing internally to a Frame object or `None`. A new
                `Frame` is created if set to `None`. (default: `None`)
            page (`Page`, optional): The destination `Page` of this newly
                created `Frame`. If `None`, the currently active `Page` is used.
                (default: `None`)

        Warning:
            Though it is possible to create a `Frame` object using the
            constructor, it is usually sufficient to obtain a frame through
            `tecplot.active_frame()` or `Page.frame()`. One can also create a
            `Frame` using a `Page` handle with `Page.add_frame()`.

        The concept of the `Frame` is central to understanding the
        |Tecplot Engine|. The `Frame` is what connects a `Dataset` to a `Plot`
        handle from which one manipulates the desired image as well as accessing
        the attached data::

            >>> import tecplot
            >>> frame = tecplot.active_frame()
            >>> frame
            Frame(uid=11, Page(uid=1))

                has a `Dataset`, it may be more efficient to do one of the following
                instead:

                    * Add a new (blank) frame with `Page.add_frame()` and create
                      a `Dataset` for this.
                    * Add new zones to the existing `Dataset` with
                      `Dataset.add_ordered_zone()`, `Dataset.add_fe_zone()` or
                      `Dataset.add_poly_zone()`.
                    * Change the existing data `in-place <Array>`.

            .. note::

                When performing many data-manipulation operations including adding
                zones, adding variables, modifying field data or connectivity, and
                especially in connected mode, it is recommended to do this all with
                the `tecplot.session.suspend()`. This will prevent the Tecplot
                engine from trying to "keep up" with the changes. Tecplot will be
                notified of all changes made upon exit of this context. This may
                result in significant performance gains for long operations. See
                the documentation for `tecplot.session.suspend()` for more
                information.
