.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fBscale\fR command creates a new window (given by the
|
|
\fIpathName\fR argument) and makes it into a scale widget.
|
|
Additional
|
|
options, described above, may be specified on the command line
|
|
or in the option database
|
|
to configure aspects of the scale such as its colors, orientation,
|
|
and relief. The \fBscale\fR command returns its
|
|
\fIpathName\fR argument. At the time this command is invoked,
|
|
there must not exist a window named \fIpathName\fR, but
|
|
\fIpathName\fR's parent must exist.
|
|
.PP
|
|
A scale is a widget that displays a rectangular region and a
|
|
small \fIslider\fR. The rectangular region corresponds to a range
|
|
of integer values (determined by the \fBfrom\fR and \fBto\fR options),
|
|
and the position of the slider selects a particular integer value.
|
|
The slider's position (and hence the scale's value) may be adjusted
|
|
by clicking or dragging with the mouse as described in the BINDINGS
|
|
section below. Whenever the scale's value is changed, a Tcl
|
|
command is invoked (using the \fBcommand\fR option) to notify
|
|
other interested widgets of the change.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Three annotations may be displayed in a scale widget: a label
|
|
appearing at the top-left of the widget (top-right for vertical
|
|
scales), a number displayed just underneath the slider
|
|
(just to the left of the slider for vertical scales), and a collection
|
|
of numerical tick-marks just underneath the current value (just to the left of
|
|
the current value for vertical scales). Each of these three
|
|
annotations may be selectively enabled or disabled using the
|
|
configuration options.
|
|
|
|
.SH "WIDGET COMMAND"
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fBscale\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose
|
|
name is \fIpathName\fR. This
|
|
command may be used to invoke various
|
|
operations on the widget. It has the following general form:
|
|
.DS C
|
|
\fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
|
|
.DE
|
|
\fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs
|
|
determine the exact behavior of the command. The following
|
|
commands are possible for scale widgets:
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fIpathName \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue option value ...\fR?
|
|
Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.
|
|
If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of
|
|
the available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for
|
|
information on the format of this list). If \fIoption\fR is specified
|
|
with no \fIvalue\fR, 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 \fIoption\fR is specified). If
|
|
one or more \fIoption\-value\fR 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.
|
|
\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBscale\fR
|
|
command.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fIpathName \fBget\fR
|
|
Returns a decimal string giving the current value of the scale.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fIpathName \fBset\fR \fIvalue\fR
|
|
This command is invoked to change the current value of the scale,
|
|
and hence the position at which the slider is displayed. \fIValue\fR
|
|
gives the new value for the scale.
|
|
|
|
.SH BINDINGS
|
|
.PP
|
|
When a new scale is created, it is given the following initial
|
|
behavior by default:
|
|
.TP 20
|
|
\fB<Enter>\fR
|
|
Change the slider display to use \fBactiveForeground\fR instead of
|
|
\fBsliderForeground\fR.
|
|
.TP 20
|
|
\fB<Leave>\fR
|
|
Reset the slider display to use \fBsliderForeground\fR instead of
|
|
\fBactiveForeground\fR.
|
|
.TP 20
|
|
\fB<ButtonPress-1>\fR
|
|
Change the slider display so that the slider appears sunken rather
|
|
than raised. Move the slider (and adjust the scale's value)
|
|
to correspond to the current mouse position.
|
|
.TP 20
|
|
\fB<Button1-Motion>\fR
|
|
Move the slider (and adjust the scale's value) to correspond to
|
|
the current mouse position.
|
|
.TP 20
|
|
\fB<ButtonRelease-1>\fR
|
|
Reset the slider display so that the slider appears raised again.
