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

       [-fillcolor fillColor] The color of the progress bar.  [-text text] 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

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.
