WIDGET COMMANDS

35       The tixMeter command creates a new Tcl command whose name is  the  same
36       as  the  path  name  of the Meter widget's window.  This command may be
37       used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has  the  following
38       general form:
39              pathName option ?arg arg ...?
40       PathName  is  the  name  of the command, which is the same as the Meter
41       widget's path name. Option and the args determine the exact behavior of
42       the command. The following commands are possible for Meter widgets:
43
44       pathName cget option
45              Returns  the  current value of the configuration option given by
46              option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the tixMe‐
47              ter command.
48
49       pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?
50              Query  or modify the configuration options of the widget.  If no
51              option is specified, returns a list describing all of the avail‐
52              able  options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information
53              on the format of this list).  If option  is  specified  with  no
54              value,  then the command returns a list describing the one named
55              option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist
56              of  the  value  returned  if no option is specified).  If one or
57              more option-value pairs are specified, then the command modifies
58              the  given  widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in this
59              case the command returns an empty string.  Option may  have  any
60              of the values accepted by the tixMeter command.
