Discussion
This rectangle defines the size and position of the view in its superview’s coordinate system. Use this rectangle during layout operations to set the size and position the view. Setting this property changes the point specified by the center property and changes the size in the bounds rectangle accordingly. The coordinates of the frame rectangle are always specified in points.
Changing the frame rectangle automatically redisplays the view without calling its draw(_:) method. If you want UIKit to call the draw(_:) method when the frame rectangle changes, set the content property to UIView.
Changes to this property can be animated. However, if the transform property contains a non-identity transform, the value of the frame property is undefined and should not be modified. In that case, reposition the view using the center property and adjust the size using the bounds property instead.
