DESCRIPTION
The watch command creates a watch with hour, minute, and
second hands modifying the time value.
METHODS
The watch command creates a new Tcl command whose name is
pathName. This command may be used to invoke various oper
ations on the widget. It has the following general form:
pathName option ?arg arg ...?
Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the
widgets:
WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS
pathName cget option
Returns the current value of the configuration
option given by option. Option may have any of the
values accepted by the watch 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 watch command.
pathName get ?format?
Returns the current time of the watch in a format
of string or as an integer clock value using the
-string and -clicks format options respectively.
The default is by string. Reference the clock com
mand for more information on obtaining time and its
formats.
pathName show time
Changes the currently displayed time to be that of
the time argument. The time may be specified
either as a string, an integer clock value or the
keyword "now". Reference the clock command for
more information on obtaining time and its format.
pathName watch ?args?
Evaluates the specifieds args against the canvas
component.
