Additional options, described above, may be specified on
the command line or in the option database to configure
aspects of the Meter widget such as its cursor and relief.
The Meter widget can be used to show the pregress of a
background job which may take a long time to execute.
WIDGET COMMANDS
The tixMeter command creates a new Tcl command whose name
is the same as the path name of the Meter widget's window.
This command may be used to invoke various operations on
the widget. It has the following general form:
pathName option ?arg arg ...?
the Meter widget's path name. Option and the args deter
mine the exact behavior of the command. The following com
mands are possible for Meter widgets:
pathName cget option
Returns the current value of the configuration
option given by option. Option may have any of the
values accepted by the tixMeter command.
pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?
Query or modify the configuration options of the
widget. If no option is specified, returns a list
describing all of the available options for path
Name (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on the
format of this list). If option is specified with
no value, then the command returns a list describ
ing the one named option (this list will be identi
cal to the corresponding sublist of the value
returned if no option is specified). If one or
more option-value pairs are specified, then the
command modifies the given widget option(s) to have
the given value(s); in this case the command
returns an empty string. Option may have any of
the values accepted by the tixMeter command.
