SYNOPSIS
tixMeter pathName ?options?
SUPER-CLASS
None.
STANDARD OPTIONS
The Meter widget supports all the standard options of a frame widget.
See the options(n) manual entry for details on the standard options.
WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS
The color of the progress bar. The text string to place inside the
progress bar. If not specified, then the text string will be the
percentage value specified by the -value option. A real value that
specifies the progress. Must be between 0.0 to 1.0.
DESCRIPTION
The tixMeter command creates a new window (given by the pathName
argument) and makes it into a Meter widget. 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 ...?
PathName is the name of the command, which is the same as the Meter
widget’s path name. Option and the args determine the exact behavior of
the command. The following commands 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 pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for
information on the format of this list). If option is specified
with no value, then the command returns a list describing the
one named option (this list will be identical 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.
